When we first learned about artist Nicola Carpinelli's grassroots movement to help at-risk youth through art with the launch of Hearts Unknown Education (HUE), an organization whose long-term vision reaches beyond its launch in Bend last year, we had to dig deeper. This issue tells the story of the formation of the Dead Poets Foundation and the creation of HUE, which offers a safe and supportive space for kids struggling with anxiety and depression to experience creative wellness and free expression classes. Read more about how you can support this program and help young hearts find their home. This issue focuses on all things home, and with the anticipation of spring, it’s a great time to refresh your home design. To update your bedroom, we’ve included tips to create a cozy bed. We asked Studio Vero’s owner and designer Veronique Waldron for tips on fabric and textiles to help you refresh your bedding and maximize comfort. We’ve also shared the latest trends in kitchen design on the following pages. Get the inside scoop to start planning your dream kitchen this year. You may want to consider opening your home by adopting a homeless dog this year, or by fostering one. In this issue, we introduce you to Marianne Cox, founder of Street Dog Hero. Learn about her labor of love to “serve dogs in need around the world and their communities through rescue, adoption, wellness, spay/neuter, and education.” Learn how you can support this organization, or other animal welfare organizations doing important work in our community.

When designing your dream kitchen, it’s important to balance timeless features with elements that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not plan to remodel your kitchen each year (does anyone do that?), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t creative ways to keep your space feeling modern and fresh. We spoke with interior designer Brooke Cover about the trends in kitchen design she’s seeing this year, touching on everything from cabinet colors and lighting to tile and countertop combos she’s loving.

TA K I N G T H E C O U N T E R M AT E R I A L U P THE BACKSPLASH

Although the iconic subway tile backsplash is timeless in its own right, Brooke says

she is seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, but a marble backsplash and countertop also sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement.

Hearts Unknown Education Helps Young Hearts Find Their Home Local Nonprofit Offers Opportunities for Youth to Discover Creative Wellness Through Art

ARTICLE BY LYNETTE CONFER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIGUEL EDWARDS

Last year, an organization arrived on the scene in Bend whose mission is to address the mental health and wellness of our community’s greatest treasures, our youth. Hearts Unknown Education (HUE) is a program of Dead Poets Foundation, and the brainchild and passion project of artist, actor, musician and poet Nicola Carpinelli. Carpinelli has called Bend home for five years and chose this community as the launching site for HUE. There is no doubt that the worldwide pandemic of 2020 left scars on society and our world. Anxiety and depression, fueled by disconnection and isolation, lead to a rise in destructive behaviors, including suicide among our youth. According to the Oregon Health Authority, suicide is the leading cause of death among Oregonians aged 10-24. During his life, Carpinelli battled his own mental health issues and thoughts of suicide. In 2014, Carpinelli connected with Los Angeles area psychologist and a leading U.S. trauma specialist, Dr. Howard

Asher, Psy.D. During his time as Dr. Asher’s patient, Carpinelli began painting again after a 10-year hiatus. The connection between this artist and therapist has been a lasting one, and built a foundation for HUE and the work now being done in our community. “Dr. Asher and I had an immediate connection. He has such a heart for this work. He offers easy solutions to difficult problems, clear perspective. That’s priceless,” says Carpinelli. The 2018 suicide of American celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain had a profound effect on Carpinelli, inspiring him to paint Bourdain. This painting, entitled “Hearts Unknown,” was the beginning of Carpinelli’s “Dead Poets” series which includes paintings of more of his heroes who took their own lives, including Ernest Hemingway, Margaux Hemingway, Kurt Cobain, Kate Spade and Robin Williams. On World Suicide Awareness Day in September 2019, this series went on exhibit at the Peterson Roth Gallery CONTINUED >

Carpinelli and Dr. Asher met in 2014 and forged a lasting relationship that is a strong foundation for work they, and so many others, do through HUE.

in downtown Bend. “I got a call from Nicola before the event asking me to be there,” notes Dr. Asher. “It was very humbling because he wanted to do this, but felt he could not do it without me.” Also in attendance was actress, author and mental health advocate Mariel Hemingway. The event was well attended, with a crowd that overflowed the venue. It was after the momentum gained by this event that Carpinelli, Hemingway and Asher founded Dead Poets Foundation, whose motto is, “If You Save One Life, You Save the World.” “After founding the Dead Poets Foundation, our next goal was to get this new program off the ground,” states Carpinelli. “I always knew it was going to take a grassroots movement and I knew I wanted to start in Bend.” In April 2022, Hearts Unknown Education (HUE) welcomed their first four students at Layor Art Supply in downtown Bend. HUE offers creative wellness and free expression classes for at-risk youth ages 5-18. These classes are not just for students who like to paint. “Art is connection, it is at the heart of everything in life,” Carpinelli states. “We offer a safe and supportive space for kids struggling with anxiety, depression, really just struggling to cope with life. We teach them creative utility, or my new word ‘creatility,’ helping them find tools so that they might be able to clear space and face what comes next in life.” Although talk therapy is a great tool, it’s often not enough. HUE offers resources through their creative wellness programs that are meant to be enrichment experiences, but are not clinical treatment interventions. “What we are finding is that all of these kids are full of anxiety. And, I think we can say adults are the same,” Carpinelli notes. “We’ve all gone through trauma. The problem with mental healthcare is that there is no follow-through. With HUE we hope to bridge the gaps. Our goal is to offer real help to real people. My goal is to not lose another young person.” Asher explains that he finds art an essential part of life. “The number one reason people go to a therapist is all the same… it is because they feel alienated. Art connects us and helps us see each other. Art is for everyone and can be a powerful tool for facilitating healing.” “HUE isn’t about being artistic or mastering art. This type of art is about release. It’s about finding peace. It’s about having a place to shed grief, pain, trauma, anger — all those burdens no child should carry — without having to explain it to anyone,” states Lisa Riley, a current HUE board member, volunteer and parent of a HUE student.

“HUE isn’t about being artistic or mastering art. This type of art is about release. It’s about finding peace. It’s about having a place to shed grief, pain, trauma, anger — all those burdens no child should carry — without having to explain it to anyone.” — Lisa Riley, current HUE board member, volunteer and parent of a HUE student

“Since my son started classes at HUE in May 2022, it’s been a game changer for him and our family,” Riley remarks. “There has been a marked difference in his mental health. As a volunteer I've watched these kids gain confidence, emerge from black clouds and find their joy. We don't always know what they are struggling with, but you can see them release it while they are painting, while they are here. It’s beautiful to watch. Magical, even. It feels like grace.” Part of the magic with HUE is undeniably related to Carpinelli. Volunteers, board members and parents explain that he has a unique and effective way of forging connections. “I felt an instant connection when I first met Nicola,” states former Bend Mayor Bruce Abernethy who currently serves on HUE’s Board. “This is an incredibly authentic person who has so much positive energy and love to give. In class, he is a literal pied piper. He makes such a difference with these kids because he gets down on their level and puts himself in their shoes.” “Nicola is amazing, he is the heart of HUE,” Riley says. “He was a beneficiary of the many healing powers of art and creativity in his life, so he knows how life-changing it can be. He sees these kids–really sees them–and understands what they are going through in a way the kids can feel.” According to HUE Board President Megan Pettibone, “HUE is offering an antidote to the disconnection we have seen in kids, in their struggles to connect with themselves and others, and we are only scratching the surface of what we’d like to offer in terms of artistic and expressive exploration. If caring adults can reach kids and provide tools before they are in crisis, the future suddenly looks a lot brighter.” HUE offers their programs free of charge to students. Because Carpinelli is bilingual, HUE is able to serve the Spanish-speaking community as well. Word has quickly spread, and HUE has grown from the first class of four students to the current class of 60 students. Classes meet twice a week and a session lasts three months.

O UR TOWN | ARTS + CU LTURE

Carpinelli serves as the Executive Director for HUE, along with Dr. Asher who actively serves as the organization’s clinical expert, advisor and guide. HUE’s current Board of Directors includes community members from a wide background, including social workers, art/play therapists, artists, teachers, alternative health practitioners, musicians, photographers, retired professionals and more. Bend’s Old Mill District donates space to HUE for their monthly board meetings. “As an organization, our number one need right now is additional spaces with larger capacity,” explains Abernethy, who also is in charge of HUE’s fundraising committee. “After we outgrew our space at Layor, DIY Cave became a new partner, and we hold classes there now.” The second need HUE has right now is supplies. “We can easily go through over $150 per week in supplies,” Carpinelli states. “Canvases, paints, brushes, paper, just all the things our students use in these free expression art classes.” “We provide these classes and services to students and families free of charge and will absolutely continue to do so,” Abernethy says. "Beyond space and supplies, we basically need funding for expenses such as volunteer training programs, staffing, insurance, travel and more. Long term, the vision is to expand this program to include all the arts—music, photography, performing arts, writing and so much more.” “We have seen the impact this organization has already had and the difference it is making for kids and families, and we are absolutely confident that we will grow,” Abernethy states. “The angle of the trajectory of which we grow is completely dependent on the support of our community.” “When I started this painting thing with kids, a lot of people told me not to do this," reflects Carpinelli. "I didn’t listen to them. If I had, we wouldn't be here doing this amazing thing. This is how we change lives. We are helping the kids, but we are really helping us all.” Contact HUE at 541.213.0679 or ILoveHue.org

WHEN A HERO OFFERS A HOME STREET DOG HER O – A HOMEC OMIN G STORY

Marianne Cox, founder of Street Dog Hero, speaks at a recent SDH fundraising event.

ARTICLE BY DONNA BURKLO PHOTOGRAPHY CONTRIBUTED BY SDH

H OW T O G E T I N V O LV E D

G IV IN G BAC K | L IFE + CULTURE

The circumstances were such that Marianne Cox couldn’t ignore the signs. In December of 2016, she and her 11-year-old daughter, Bella, were volunteering at the Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) when 40 dogs rescued from a South Korean meat farm were brought in to be cared for and rehomed. Memories of a trip to Mexico with her then boyfriend – now husband – Chris Cox swarmed in her mind. The street dogs. There were so many. She had bonded with them then and continued to bond with them on return trips to favorite Mexican vacation destinations over the years. Looking at those dogs from South Korea, she knew. She had to help. She had the time. Lynne Ouchida, the Community Outreach Manager at HSCO, was her guide, coaching Marianne in the ways of managing animal welfare and connecting with like-minded people and organizations. By March of 2017, her 501c3 filing was final. In April that year, Street Dog Hero (SDH) was an official, hit-the-ground-running, nonprofit organization. That Spring Break in Sayulita, Mexico, Cox met with the team at Sayulita Animals and they hit it off. Unplanned, she and her family took home their first rescue. “The whole trip home was horrible. Everything went wrong. We learned a LOT,” Cox recalls. Yet, a friend stepped in to foster the pup and within a week, “Casey” was adopted into his forever home. Flashing forward in her hero’s cape of compassion and Cox has, to date, rescued and rehomed 3,000 dogs. Most are at home in the Pacific Northwest, yet some are in other parts of the United States and Canada. They come from all over the world on “angel flights” and are met at the Redmond airport by their foster home representatives. Cox understood immediately that rescuing was not the complete solution to improving the lives of street dogs. There simply had to be fewer of them to start with. Within the first year, she began including education and spay and neuter clinics in Mexico and Central Oregon in the mix of services offered. Focusing on low income and underserved areas, thousands of unwanted litters have been avoided due to SDH efforts. Alyson Campbell is a recipient of not one, but two, rescued SDH dogs, Chance and Juneau. She is also a foster home provider. Chance was rescued from South Korea four years ago and Juneau from Warm Springs a year and a half ago. Alyson laughs, “Juneau was a ‘foster fail’. I fostered him and couldn’t let go.” The process of becoming a foster home provider is simple and the requirements are not difficult, yet they are specific and essential. “Time and patience,” Campbell says. “Time and

patience are the two most important components of being a helpful and successful foster home. Some of these pups have never been indoors. Time spent in the transition from rescue is critical.” Cox is also the proud pet parent of two SDH pups, Frank and Coco. Everyone in her family, husband Chris, daughter Bella and son Colton, are involved in the mission of “serving dogs in need around the world and their communities through rescue, adoption, wellness, spay/neuter, and education.” It’s a labor of love and nothing makes Cox’s heart swell more than when she hears from a new SDH recipient, “I didn’t save that dog, that dog saved me.” StreetDogHero.org

WA R M I N G U P THE WHITE We doubt the classic white kitchen will ever completely go out of style, but trends show people are going away from the white kitchen and gray cabinets. They’re opting for white mixed with warmer wood tones, dark greens and blues. Some homeowners are mixing vintage in with the new and modern through butcher block islands or other unique cabinetry choices. Black is making a bold comeback in some kitchens, while others usher in warmth through painted islands or other darker contrast tiles in the bar area. You don’t have to leave behind the timelessness when you warm up your space if you opt for equally timeless black and wood-stained accents. If you want a quick refresh, consider adding pops of wood through cutting boards or other decor accents on countertops or open shelves.

HIDDEN STORAGE, VISIBLE APPLIANCES Gone are the days of it being a given to hide the fridge behind custom cabinets. Many brands of appliances are so beautiful and sleek these days, homeowners want to see them rather than hide them behind a cabinet facade. Small appliances, however, are another story. Custom cabinets and “appliance garages” aren’t going away anytime soon. Form and function make them a desirable addition to any kitchen. CONTINUED >

MAR CH 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E. C O M / BE N D

BOLD H A R D WA R E Mixed metals and sizes are having a moment in kitchens across America. Brooke says not to shy away from a variety of sizes of pulls and handles, depending on the drawer and door size. For instance, you may see a mixture of longer pulls on larger drawers and square knobs on smaller glassware cabinets - and that’s more than just ok - that’s recommended. As the heart of the home, kitchens shouldn’t feel sterile and hyper-coordinated - they should feel inviting and tailored to the space. Since no two kitchens will be exactly alike, feel free to boldly mix the hardware sizes and styles to the needs of your kitchen.

From painted and stained islands to dark lower cabinetry with bright white uppers and mixed lighting fixtures, contrast is the name of the game this year. You’ll see this juxtaposition between clean white and darker colors or even this year’s favorite - greens and blues - all over newly designed kitchens. You’re not breaking any rules by coordinating sculptural pendants over the kitchen island with more vintage-inspired gooseneck sconces over the standalone bar or a chandelier over the eat-in kitchen.

I suggest viewing countertop slabs in person vs. a small sample piece because each slab has unique movement and colors. They are all so beautiful and works of art. Taking a trip to the warehouse will really help a client to understand the different types available and see the difference in the look of the material.

Creating a Restful Retreat TIPS ON MAKING A BED COZY, COMFORTABLE AND BEAUTIFUL

ARTICLE BY CHLOE GREEN

We spend eight to nine hours each day in our beds, and trying to make them as beautiful and cozy as possible is worth our while. With sleep being such a crucial part of our health, knowing how to create a soothing and rest-promoting environment that we can retreat to each night ought to be a priority. We spoke with designer Veronique Waldron, owner of Studio Vero in Bend, about the fabrics, textiles, and colors to consider when designing your sleep sanctuary.

MATTRESS A solid foundation is critical to any success, and with the mattress being the foundation of your bed, it's essential to be intentional and pick the one that is right for you. What constitutes a good mattress varies from person to person, depending on various personal

Take time to create a bed that invites rest and is the foundation for a good night's sleep.

Layers of fabrics, from sheets to coverlet to duvet, can be added to your bed to reflect the season and your personal style.

factors. We recommend a firmer mattress for extra support for someone with recurring back pain. If you tend to overheat while sleeping, look for a mattress that promotes airflow and has cooling technology. Taking the time to find a bed that fits your specific needs is well worth the effort.

BED FRAME Want to elevate the style and look of your bedroom? Veronique recommends finding a beautiful headboard to set the tone and act as the centerpiece of your room. Beyond just enhancing the look of your bed, it can also be a functional element that increases your comfort by providing something to lean against while in bed. Veronique tells us that you typically see three types of headboards: "When customers come in looking for sheets or a duvet, I always ask whether they have a fabric, metal or wooden headboard." Those who want a more traditional aesthetic might consider a wooden headboard, while those going after a sleeker and more modern look might want to find a metal headboard.

SHEETS Your sheets and you have a close relationship as they rest on your skin all night long, meaning that your comfort depends mainly on them. The three main elements you want to consider when picking your sheets are fabric, thread count and color. When thinking about the material, take note of the temperature and climate of where you are. For summer months, when you want breathable and cooling fabrics, Veronique prefers a good quality organic cotton sateen sheet set. To keep you warm and comfortable during the cooler months, she recommends sheets made of 100% organic linen.

COVERLET The next element that Veronique recommends layering on is a coverlet. This lightweight decorative blanket can be placed between your sheets and duvet for extra warmth during the cooler months. If you live in a warmer climate, a coverlet may be able to replace your duvet during warmer seasons. CONTINUED >

Think of adding accent touches to your bed in a variety of colors and textures to personalize your space.

DUVET The duvet and its cover will be central to your bed's overall comfort and look. When choosing a duvet, you'll want to pay attention to the fill power and tog rating of the material the duvet is filled with. The most common fill materials are feathers, wool or a synthetic alternative. The higher the fill power, the fluffier the duvet, and the higher the tog rating, the warmer the duvet. Once you've chosen the duvet, next comes the duvet cover, which can vary in color and texture. Veronique recommends a more neutral duvet cover as it allows for more flexibility to alter the style of the room through small changes in accent pieces.

THROW An example of an accent piece would be a throw blanket that rests atop the duvet. This is where you can add some more exciting colors and textures to your bedspread. For texture, consider the material of your throw. Cotton, wool, fleece and cashmere

throws are very popular and add extra coziness and comfort to your bed.

PILLOWS Finally, we've come to one of the most important elements of the sleep experience, your pillows. Pillows are an essential part of your comfort and a central part of a bed's aesthetic. The pillows you will rest your head on each night are a personal preference. Options range from incredibly fluffy feather pillows to memory foam pillows offering more support. For the decorative pillows, Veronique told us that what's trending in the design world is one long lumbar pillow as opposed to the various euro pillows from several years ago. "They offer a sleeker, more modern look that many people are looking for," she explains. Creating a beautiful and cozy bed comes down to personal taste, but now you have the basic building blocks to design a sleep sanctuary customized for you.
