HONEY HIVE: ONLY THE SWEET STUFF

Lake Worth Community Leader

JAYME SELMAN “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Founder of “Can I Help You? Lake Worth”, Jayme Selman Photos courtesy ©facebook.com/thelakeworther

Tell us a little about yourself, Jayme.

“I am man who has spent most of my life depressed and giving into that depression. It wasn’t until a few years ago somebody planted the seed of stepping outside yourself into my head and eventually it made its way down to my heart. I have come to realize my journey is to help others as much as I can because I know so many people have felt the same way I have. The more involved I get the more I see that there is so much pain and hurt in our world, in our schools, our jobs, even across the dinner table from you. Everyone is fighting a hard battle. Spending my life focusing on or entertaining my own self pity is a disservice to others. I promise you, if you are feeling down or burdened, call someone and ask how they are doing this week, smile at a stranger, or volunteer. Your contribution to this world doesn’t have to be ‘Bill Gates’ sized. Start where you are, with what you have. And if you do these things with the right intentions, life will unfold for you and doors will open.

Things will ultimately get better if we reach out our hand. That’s me and that’s my journey.”

What is your group “Can I Help You? Lake Worth” all about?

“What started as an online group to connect locals that had unmet needs to those who were looking for a place to lend a helping hand, CIHY? combined the forces of community involvement and paying it forward with that of the creative arts and local homegrown talents. CIHY? engages and supports projects ranging in size and magnitude and has created a support system for Lake Worth’s diverse and all-inclusive populace.”

What is your wish for the future of “Can I Help You? Lake Worth”?

“I hope we continue to grow into a community movement that brings the youth and adults of all ages together and gives them a platform to make a difference in their neighborhood. I want us all to learn to use our 16

SUMMER 2015

skills, inventiveness, talents and eagerness to make a difference in our community so that we may build each other up and help those that need it, which in turn, will help ourselves.

Whether we become a giant non-profit in a warehouse or stay a close knit community support system, as long as CIHY? brings people together, I am proud of what we are.

If we stick with that mindset the possibilities are endless, and as we grow we will unfold.

I hope with Lake Worth we can create an example or base model for others to take to their own towns, cities or states so that they can start their own version of CIHY? ” Can you tell us about the most memorable experience that has occurred because of CIHY? “It was probably our winter holiday event that I threw at my house last minute. We had great food, art, live music, and positive energy. We received an overwhelming amount of donations that we dispersed to local charities.

We were also able to make a bunch of gift bags containing socks, fruit and basic necessities. A few volunteers ran around all Christmas morning passing them out and spreading the love. It was a really emotional day.

The most memorable event for me, personally, has been when I had my own moment of crisis after being robbed last month. The CIHY? community came together and really helped me out. The kindness was overwhelming. It’s otherworldly to watch this change and influence lives on so many different levels, and then suddenly you have your own hardship.

You blink, and you are surrounded by love, support, and the kindness of strangers--who aren’t so strange after all-- because they are your neighbors. It showed me the power behind this idea and that love and the goodness within our community is ever-present.”

Nurturing and Engaging Teens Through the Arts:

BAK MIDDLE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS FOUNDATION The Middle School of the Arts Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization, whose mission is to develop permanent resources to ensure world-class standards of excellence in arts and academics at Bak Middle School of the Arts, a public school serving all of Palm Beach County. The Foundation’s purpose is to identify and secure means to meet needs beyond those that can be funded by the Palm Beach County School District. In keeping with the district’s magnet goals, the Foundation provides funding and volunteer support for Bak’s efforts to promote and expand diversity, improve achievement and focus on a unique arts curriculum.

The Middle School of the Arts Foundation, Inc. was formed in 1999 by parents and concerned members of the community to raise the estimated $1.8 million needed to build an auditorium for the school’s new Photo courtesy ©Alfred C. Clayton Photography campus, an essential performance space for an arts school. (A typical middle school campus includes a gymnasium or an auditorium, but not both.) The Foundation has continued to be an active force in raising funds for the school and its programs. Since 2013, the Foundation has provided nearly three-quarter of a million dollars to assist in the funding of Artists in Residence, Artistic Consultants, and specialized instruments, supplies and equipment for Bak Middle School of the Arts. “Community involvement and participation in supporting the arts is imperative to its survival in our public school system and benefits society as a whole.” said Foundation Board Member Sarah Benitz, “By providing these middle school students with the creative tools they need to help them engage in and explore the arts, we are preparing them to better interact within a culturally diverse world.”

Bak Middle School of the Arts serves over 1,350 students, in 6th, 7th and 8th grades from throughout all of Palm Beach County. As a full choice program school, students come from as far as Belle Glade, Boca and Tequesta to participate in one of the eight Arts based curriculums which include Band, Communications, Dance, Piano, Strings, Theatre, Visual Arts, and Vocal Programs. Admission to the school is audition based.

A walk through the hallways of Bak Middle School of the Arts quickly sets this school apart from any other middle school throughout Palm Beach County. You are greeted by shelf upon shelf of trophies, wall upon wall of plaques and ribbons of every color intermingled with paintings in every medium, sculptures, photography and graphic designs comparable to many industry professionals, all created by middle school aged students.

But Bak isn’t solely focused on the Arts. It is the 3rd highest ranking middle school in the state of Florida academically. The unique approach at arts integration coupled with the students desire to truly be a part of the Bak family instills an unparalleled level of dedication and discipline.

The Foundation assists the school through several initiatives, including the Artist in Residence, Consultant and Guest Artist Program. These industry professionals work hands on with students in each of the arts disciplines providing specialized instruction and maximizing each student’s artistic potential. Without these instructors, the Arts programs at Bak MSOA would suffer tremendously, given the District’s inability to fully fund the caliber of arts instruction provided.

In addition, the Foundation builds community collaborations to further support the needs of the school. Just recently, the Foundation hosted DC and Marvel Comic Book Artist George Pérez who, to the awe of the students, spent the day drawing many of their favorite comic book characters and sharing his many stories. The Foundation has also collaborated with Connecticut School of Broadcasting, The Chamber Music Society of Palm Beach, and the American Dance Legacy Initiative creating educational outreach opportunities for a multitude of guest artists and industry professionals.

PRATT INSTITUTE AND KRAVIS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS SCULPTURE COMPETITION

WINNER

WEST PALM BEACH, FL – April 9, 2015 – Robin Oglesbee-Venghaus, a native of Portland, Oregon, is the winner of the Pratt Institute and Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts Sculpture Competition, following presentations by eight student finalists to a distinguished panel of judges at a dinner event at the Kravis Center on April 7. Pratt Institute, a renowned New York City-based college that educates creative thinkers from around the world, and the Kravis Center, a not-for-profit performing arts center dedicated to improving quality of life in Palm Beach County through presenting artists and companies of the highest quality, partnered in this competition, where entries were judged by a panel of design, arts and elected leaders in the Greater Palm Beach community.

All eight Pratt student competitors were challenged to find unique ways to honor Helen K. Persson Society members who have made gifts to the Kravis Center’s Permanently Restricted Endowment Fund while also incorporating lighting and seating elements into their designs. Oglesbee-Venghaus’ winning design, which garnered him a $3,000 prize, was inspired by individual trees together composing a forest, a metaphor for individual Persson Society donors who collectively to support the performing arts.

“The partnership between the Kravis Center and Pratt Institute was a unique opportunity for Pratt’s talented students to channel their creativity into designs for a site-specific piece of art,” said Pratt Trustee/Alumnus and Kravis Center Founder Member Bruce M. Newman. “I was impressed with the quality and sophistication of the designs, and am proud of all of our finalists for their excellent work and dedication to this project.” Photo Credit ©Capehart

I

’ve always told people “my art is somewhere between reality and escape, fantasy, mystery and fun--I live for these things.” Being a portrait artist and pop-cultural fashion designer I am fascinated with people and creating things that resonate with them in ways that other artists do not see. I think I set myself apart from other artists by just being who I am and cultivating my imagination on canvas or through my fashion line. You could say part of that has to do with the dynamic lifestyle I’ve lived.

I was born in Alaska, grew up in Seattle, worked on my dad’s commercial fishing boat during the summers, traveled to over 50 countries around the world with my family (starting at the age of 9) and attended Duke University on an athletic scholarship. After college I wanted to continue my art pursuits so I became a Florida yacht stewardess as a fun side job for the summer. Three years later I am still living out my dream in Florida being a parttime yacht stewardess has afforded me. I’ve also developed a fashion line called “Big Bold Fierce” to complement my fine art. My goal is for both my fashion and art to ride off one another and bring fun and enlightenment to all who see it.

ARTIN’ WITH THE MUSE

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

MY INTERVIEW WITH STYLE ICON

IRIS APFEL I

by Jennifer Love Gironda

But I did.

JLG: Before I get started, I am a little distracted by your shoes!

IA: They are from my collection on the Home Shopping Network.

JLG: One of the things I love about the opening of the film was just that you were in a normal store with everyday jewelry. I know you combine everyday pieces that everyone can afford with expensive and beautiful pieces. What advice do you have for this layering technique?

IA: You have to educate your eye.

Sometimes it’s color, sometimes it’s textures, sometimes it’s everything ...sometimes it’s so terrible that it’s wonderful! It’s something instinctive. I don’t do anything by rote- I have no rules or regulations. I don’t believe in them.

JLG: Because you would break them?

IA: [laughs] Iris leans in and touches my necklace combination! Please note, I spent quite a bit of time constructing just the right piece for this meeting with Iris. I opted for a huge silver chain necklace interwoven with a thin, bendable ‘snake’ necklace and two stacked silver bracelets with a little black dress. And yes, I did not want to take it off after the interview…or ever!

JLG: In the film, you mention your mother as a fashion inspiration, and that she ...

IA: [chimes in unison]…worshiped at the altar of accessories.

JLG: Is there one look or piece that your mother wore that is especially memorable for you?

28

SUMMER 2015

IA: I don’t have particular favorites or pieces. I like them all! It was just her general look…it’s an essence. I believe in essence.

Iris Apfel at the premiere of Albert Maysles’s documentary, Iris, at MIFF.

JLG: What was the last accessory purchase that you’ve made?

IA: I found a wonderful necklace, it’s junk jewelry of course, but costly junk jewelry!

It has faux diamonds and turquoise but it’s all skulls…very done up. I have never seen anything like that before.

JLG: I am a former weaver so I was very interested in your dealings with textiles. Do you have a favorite textile print of fabric?

IA: I love so many, how could I choose just one?! I love natural fibers. I love silk, but really good silk, not some of the crummy silk. Also, 18th century natural dyes, fruit and vegetable dyes... the colors are so gorgeous! The textures are so marvelous and the workmanship is … (just smiles).

How can you compare that with a computer generated piece of fabric?

Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa hosted 100 noted guests who raised their glasses to toast legendary style icon and Palm Beach resident Iris Apfel on the release of Albert Maysles’s documentary about her. “Iris” was the late producer’s last film and it is now playing in local theaters and across the country.

JLG: One of the things that I love about the film is the second story line; the great love between you and Carl.

IA: Why, thank you, that’s true…67 years!

JLG: My 10 year anniversary this summer!

IA: Good for you!

JLG: What advice can you offer on marriage?

IA: Sense of humor. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Give each other enough space... don’t be on one another’s backs! My husband gave me all kinds of space except in the closet! [Laughs]

Artwork titled “My Fairy Glam Mother” gifted to Iris by the artist Jennifer Love Gironda.

At this point in the interview I give Iris an art piece I created inspired by her, My Fairy Glam Mother. I ask for some final thoughts.

JLG: If you had magical dust that you could use to get rid of one terrible trend…what would it be?

IA: Oh my God, there’s so many! I think vulgarity in fashion and in life. And I would tell all young people- stop pressing so many buttons and get a life!

Iris, I love you.

I did my best not to cry, pass out or blubber on like some crazed fan girl but…folks..we’re talkin’ about the Iris Apfel here. I seriously want to be her when I grow up.

“BE THE ONE THAT POPS OUT. BE THE ONE WHO STANDS OUT. BE THE ONE WHO IS A LITTLE OFF-KILTER. I THINK THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT DO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL.” 38

SUMMER 2015

ART HIVE MAGAZINE: Your career has an interesting start, you were dubbed “Ross the Intern” on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, how did you get onto that show?

ROSS MATHEWS: Well, I really was working behind the scenes for free. That was 13 years ago. I always wanted to be on television and always wanted to meet celebrities. So when I was in college, I started working for free in the hallways [at the Tonight Show] and they noticed me and they put me on air and gave me that platform.

What started out as kind of a gimmick, quickly turned into a career.

I just grabbed that opportunity and ran with it.

AH: You had your own TV show on E! called Hello Ross. How was that experience?

RM: I loved every single thing about it. What it meant for me was, one, a connection with the audience like no other. You look into that camera and the audience chooses to watch you, that’s a very intimate thing. Also, for me it was about being insistent on how to create the vibe on the show. It was all about the fans, the super fans. I wanted guests on that made me excited.

AH: What are you currently obsessed with?

RM: I’m obsessed with Periscope. That new app where people broadcast live. I just love watching people drunk, eating tacos at night. If you don’t have this app, you have to download it, it’s free.

I’m pretty much into everything on TLC. The Good Wife, I started binge watching that.

AH: You have such a crazy schedule, what do you do in your down time?

RM: I go to Palm Springs and I just chill out. I hang out in the pool, play trivia, we go to bingo, we have a sensible bedtime, that’s what I like.

AH: You have maintained such a genuine personality after being in Hollywood for so many years. How have people’s attitudes changed towards you with your success over time?

RM: I’ll tell you this. When I travel all over the country and people see me in the airport, in the mall, or on the street, or let’s be honest, in the line at the fast food restaurant, they get excited.

They go, “Oh my God, I’ve been rooting for you since day one, I feel like I’m like you.”

And that makes me feel really good because it is so authentic and it’s full circle. It was real how it all started and I think people are invested.

AH: Is that the same platform you want now that you have your podcast Straight Talk with Ross?

RM: Yeah, I really tried to do a hybrid of some professional broadcasting skills, because I pride myself on that. No B.S., if we’re excited, we’re excited. If we don’t buy into what someone is saying, we don’t buy into it. I think things only work if they’re authentic. That’s how it has always worked for me. I think that’s why it worked for The Tonight Show when I started, because I was so authentic. I just try and keep it real. Does that make sense?

AH: It definitely does! You have been so open in your book Man Up: Tales Of My Delusional Self Confidence. What was different about expressing yourself in book format?

RM: I’ll be honest with you, writing that first book, one, it’s really funny, but two, it has a really nice message to it. I’m proud of Man Up. I put a lot of my heart and my soul and my life story into that book.

AH: Is there a second book coming out?

RM: I’ve been reluctant to do it. A little bit because it’s such a big undertaking. I take it very seriously. I’m the kind of person, before I climb the mountain, I have to take a good look at the mountain. I need to see it and I’ve been struggling to see it. I don’t want to do another Man Up. When I write another book it has to be a whole other kind of beast and I have finally figured it out. So, I’m going to do it.

AH: I wanted to know, what advice you might have for a creative person looking into your world and hoping to emulate a career similar to yours.

RM: I think for anyone who takes the risk or wants to be artistic, or wants to leap and do something bold or different, it’s really tempting to sort of blend in. I always talk about walking on the beach. There are so many rocks that get washed over and they all look alike, and that’s kind of what it’s like in Hollywood. A lot of people come here to take acting classes or hosting classes. The rocks that get picked up are the ones that are just a little different, that look a little weird, that are a little off. I think that’s true with anything. Be the one that pops out. Be the one who stands out. Be the one who is a little off-kilter. I think those are the people that do something really special.

ART DRONE

KEEP IT DARK Written and Illustrated By Jonathan Hunt

“Why can’t you draw something NICE?” I have heard this question repeated many times since I was a kid. At five or six years old, I could be found planted in my miniature chair, hunched over my scarred and battered table, furiously scribbling on the back of recycled letterhead that my mom had rescued from her office. I might be listening to my favorite 45rpm record of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street belting out “I Love Trash” or perhaps “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers. As my mother passed by with a basket-full of folded laundry she would peek over my shoulder to see what I was up to. More often than not, her response to what she saw on my paper would be “Oh, Jonathan! (She used my full name when she wanted to show her exasperation) Why don’t you ever draw anything NICE?”.

Then, as now, I am ambivalent about this statement. As a kid, I didn’t really understand what she meant: What was wrong with gashed and bleeding dinosaurs disemboweling each other as distant volcanoes belched toxic gas into the atmosphere? What was disturbing about vampires and zombies pursuing terrified victims through gnarled, rat-infested forests? What fault could anyone possibly find with enormous robots pounding each other until oil spurted from severed mechanical limbs as space cruisers smashed into planets and decimated entire alien races? Seriously Mom? Jeez.

Growing up, my favorite TV shows and films were science fiction, horror or slapstick comedies.

Quite possibly my favorite show of all time was and still is The Addams Family (Oh, how I wanted to live in that cob-webby Victorian mansion with Wednesday and her family!). Like most kids, I watched cartoons on Saturday mornings, but the 40

SUMMER 2015

main event was Creature Features at 11am: Black & white B-movies with titles like I, Zombie, Fiend Without a Face, It, The Terror from Beyond Space, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and of course Godzilla, King of Monsters! I was in Heaven. Dark Heaven.

Now and again I would try to draw something wholesome and non-threatening-- like a flower or a watering can or a kitten. But it felt like such a chore and always ended up being a half-hearted effort. To me, this “acceptable” subject matter was so boring! No evil wizards or monsters to defeat, no frenetic chases or battles on alien worlds. In short—NO CONFLICT! At one point in my career, I questioned my choice of subject matter, but then (after about 5 seconds) I realized that it wasn’t actually a choice at all. As Lady Gaga so aptly put it— “I was born this way”!

“... I would try to draw something wholesome and non-threatening-like a flower or a watering can or a kitten.

But it felt like such a chore and always ended up being a halfhearted effort. ”

I am irrevocably drawn to the dark, subversive and the threatening in art, literature, film and music. Yet I never wanted to be subdued by it. For me, the Dark is something that must be faced down: An enemy to overcome.

The dark side of the Force from the Star Wars films is intrinsically linked to the light side.

Like Yin and Yang, they cannot exist without each other. The ironic thing is, many of the artists I know who are drawn to dark subject matter have incredibly positive and fulfilling relationships as well as a wicked and ironic sense of humor. Go figure.

It’s not like I don’t appreciate a beautiful watercolor of tulips on a sunny day. I simply prefer to enjoy someone else’s floral still life.

Or better yet, go outside and experience the real thing for myself! I have accepted that I will always like monsters, just as I have resigned myself to the fact that my printer will always be running out of black ink.

Sweet Success:

Michele Hoskins

By Angela Yungk

he Hoskins have passed a secret family recipe down for generations.

When the time came for Michele to learn it, she knew this was the opportunity she had been waiting for.

Michele began her journey crafting small batches of the family syrup with the hopes of getting it into retail stores.

Through her entrepreneurial spirit, the delicious syrup eventually made its way into 8,000 grocery stores nationwide.

She has even partnered with some of the biggest names in the food industry; General Mills; Sara Lee; as well as the first minority food supplier for both Wal-Mart and Denny’s. Michele also utilizes her culinary expertise as a judge on the Food Network’s ‘Shark Tank’ style show, Food Fortunes. She is an acclaimed author, motivational speaker and philanthropist, giving at risk children the opportunity to learn business skills through mentorship and job placement. Art Hive had a chance to speak with Michele about her success, the risks she took to get there, and what it takes to be a true entrepreneur.

Angela Yungk: How did you start your journey of making syrup in your home and eventually getting it into retail stores nationwide?

Michele Hoskins: I realized in the 80’s it was the decade of the woman. Women were going to emerge as CEO’s and executives of companies and I kind of wanted to be a part of that movement.

I had to make a decision. Do I go back to school or do I own my own business?

44

SUMMER 2015

“I was a risk taker and I just felt that if I provided effort into my own business I would be far more successful than putting effort into other people’s work environment.”

So I decided to venture out into entrepreneurship and see where that would take me. I was a risk taker and I just felt that if I put effort into my own business I would be far more successful than putting effort into other people’s work environment. That’s how it all started. With a little faith and a little belief in myself.

AY: Did you find it difficult as a woman to put yourself out there into the business arena and trying to get your product on retail shelves?

MH: It was more difficult being an African American woman than being a woman, because the fast food industry is very male oriented. When I came out thirty years ago it was very unusual for any woman, especially African American women, to enter into this arena. The fact that I didn’t grow up in this business and didn’t work in the food industry did make it a little difficult. I had to build relationships.

The most successful companies are built on relationships. It was difficult in the beginning, I wasn’t that informed on things and I had to learn. I wasn’t coming out knowing everything, I had to be patient with people and people had to be patient with me.

AY: As a judge on Food Network’s Food Fortunes, what do you think makes for a great pitch or food product?

T

MH: You have to understand your competition. You have to understand the market and you have to understand where you’re going to put it in the market. You’re going to have to understand who you’re going to have to ask to exit the market to get that space. All the shelf space is pretty much taken up and so how they look at products is, ‘Is it something different, something unique, something that is not out there already’? You have to understand your market before you look for investors. I look for an almost finished product. That means you know who’s going to make it, you understand your materials, your costs, and you’re packaging.

AY: Do you believe it is better to go to school to learn business or can one self educate?

MH: I think you can self educate. I think some of the better businesses come from young entrepreneurs who have pulled up their boot straps and have become very successful.

It’s not so much the understanding of the business, because you can always hire somebody to help you run the business. It’s the drive, the risk taking, and the persistence. It takes many things, that business schools are not going to teach you, to run a business. You need that drive that gets you up every morning and makes you come to work and work 12 or 15 hours. You can hire a good accountant and a good manager, but you can’t hire a good entrepreneur.

You have to be that yourself.

AY: What skills do you believe people are lacking in their businesses today, that if they integrated would help take them to the next level?

MH: They don’t have a clear understanding of what they really want to do. They come in and they just think, ‘Well, okay I make a great chocolate chip cookie’, but everybody’s making a great chocolate chip cookie. What is your vision? What is your plan?

How are you going get there? Are you persistent? Are you the type of person who can be hungry for a while? Success and monetary gain

“You can hire a good accountant and a good manager, but you can’t hire a good entrepreneur. You have to be that yourself.”

are two entirely different things. I tell people, you don’t need money to get into the business; you need a business to make money. There are a lot of personal qualities a person has to bring as an entrepreneur, because if you don’t have those, you’re not going to succeed. If you are lazy, you’re not going to succeed. If you’re not patient, you’re not going to succeed. If you don’t understand how to be persistent, you’re not going to succeed. You have to understand that sometimes you need to take risks, follow your instincts, and just say, ‘I’m going to do this and just hope you it sticks to the wall’. These are the traits that if you don’t have, you probably won’t be successful.

I’ve been up this morning since 6 am. I’m on my way to the office and I was just talking to someone earlier.

They’re at home because it’s raining outside. It’s raining outside for me too, but I’m in my car on my way to the office. You have to have certain characteristics about yourself that are going to drive your business and if you don’t have those, you can have the best chocolate chip cookie in the world and you’re not going to manifest it into anything successful.

KATE DiCAMILLO

By Jessie Prugh

P

ersistence has paid off for Kate Dicamillo. The self deprecating humor of the acclaimed author is refreshing, as she recalls her twenties when she played the part of a writer, but had yet to write a single thing. Kate has since achieved honors that rival any author; New York Times Best Seller; Newbery Award winner; and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature through the Library of Congress. The native Floridian has accomplished an astounding feat while remaining humble and gracious about her unconventional road to success. Art Hive had the pleasure of speaking with Kate about her ups, her downs, and how she turned herself into the author she is today.

JESSIE PRUGH: I’ve heard you speak before about being an artist and a writer and I love that you don’t try to paint a fake or fantastical idea of what it is. So, when did you know you were a writer?

JP: It’s not sad its reality. There are a lot of people who work in the arts and there are a lot of people who just like to claim that they do certain things because they like the “lifestyle” and they really don’t produce anything. So at least you are being very honest.

KD: People will say to me, ‘Don’t you wish you hadn’t wasted all that time?’ And the weird thing is that I don’t, because that shaped me. That waiting and not doing it shaped me, so by the time I finally sat down to start doing it I was not going to stop be46

SUMMER 2015

JP: Tell me a little about your daily writing routine?

KD: I have worked basically the same way since I decided to start working. Which is two pages.

It’s not a lot, but I do it first thing in the morning before I do anything else and before I can talk myself out of doing it, because that’s what happens if I don’t.

But everybody is different so I am not saying you should do two pages a day, this is what works for me. If I sit there and think, ‘I’m going to write a novel’ I’m never going to get it done because I think it’s too overwhelming. If I think ‘it’s only two pages’ I know I can do that. So its first thing in the morning. The coffee maker is set to go off at 5:30, I come downstairs, I pour my coffee and go directly into the office and write the two pages. And that’s basically what I have been doing now for twenty years.

“there is one Mozart born every century, one genius who hears the music and puts it directly down on paper and then they say, ‘Guess what, that’s not you’.”

JP: How long does it usually take you to write a novel and are you working on multiple projects at the same time?

KD: It takes me about a year or a year and a half and I work on multiple things. For example, what I am doing now. I have the first draft of a novel that I’m working on and I have a set number of pages that I am going to do and then I will put that aside, let it sit for two weeks, I think of it like it is marinating. Then I will come back and do a second draft of that piece. So, in that two weeks in between I will get another shorter project that I am working on and I will take that to a full draft and then I will come back to the novel again. I don’t work on them simultaneously but I work on them independently in between, always rotating something around.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF © CATHERINE SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY

KATE DiCAMILLO: [laughs] That’s the story …you know. I had always loved to read and I tell kids, because they think that I always wanted to do this, that it never occurred to me that human beings wrote books.

I don’t know, it just seemed so fabulous to me. Most kids now can either go to a signing at a bookstore or they will have a writer come into the schools.

Most of them see that it’s just people that do it, but that wasn’t around when I was a kid and so I didn’t even really think about doing it seriously until I was in college. I was in my senior year and a professor told me that I had a certain way with words and I should consider graduate school.

And because I was twenty years old I thought, ‘Well, he must be trying to tell me that I am really, really talented. [laughs] So why bother with graduate school?’ I’m just going to go off and be a writer. That lasted for about ten years with me telling everybody that I was a writer and dreaming about being a writer. Yeah, it was a long, long time before I woke up and realized that I was actually going to have to write something. [laughs] Sad, it’s a sad story.

cause I had spent all that time procrastinating. It made me not want to give up.

JP: How do you push through when you have a writer’s block- if you ever get writer’s block?

KD: Well, my official position on writers block is that it doesn’t exist; there are just bad writing days. There can be months and months of bad writing days. I have experienced that. Everybody that has tried to create something has experienced that. What I have found is I don’t know when it’s going to turn. So not showing up is not fair to the writer that is going to exist tomorrow, so I am going to be nice to that person. I just think ‘show up, show up, SHOW UP’. Sometimes it’s the only thing that I know how to do.

JP: You’ve talked about how, as a child, you recognized the Newbery Award seal as an indicator that, ‘Oh this book is going to be a good one’.

Tell me about the moment you found out you won your first one.

KD: Oh, I am happy to tell you. They always call before they make the official press announcement. I think they make a press announcement at 8 o’clock eastern standard time so for The Tale of Despereaux when I won the first Newbery Award they were on the west coast so they called at about 9 o’clock my time. And it’s the whole Newbery committee on the phone and the chair speaks and says who they are and what they are calling for. I said, ‘Can you say it again?’ And she [Eliza Dresang] went through the whole thing again and then I really truly said, ‘Can you say it again?’ because I just couldn’t believe it. I could not believe it. So I had her say the whole thing three times. Then last year when they called for Flora and Ulysses they were on the east coast and it was five thirty in the morning and I was asleep still, the coffee maker had gone off but I wasn’t up yet.

So they woke me up and that all just seemed like a dream. I kept on telling them, ‘but it’s a book about a squirrel’. It’s one of those things that it’s hard for me to talk about it without tearing up because I cannot believe that the eight year old kid that I was is still so present in me. The disbelief is so profound, to think about that medal being on anything that I wrote.

JP: It’s a beautiful thing and it’s well deserved.

KD: Well…Thank you [laughs] I am working on taking compliments. [pauses] Thank you!

JP: Now talking about that surreal feeling that you get from knowing that you have won these awards…can you tell me about how surreal it must be to know that two of your amazing novels, The Tale of Despereaux and Because of Winn Dixie, have turned into films?

KD: Right? Surreal is the word! That’s exactly it, that is the word that I use all of the time. It’s like a fever dream. Most of the time it’s dark when I am up writing, staring at the wall, imagining a world, and you do that all alone. It’s unbelievable enough that people would read what you write and come into that world with you, but then when that world is reimagined and up on the screen it’s just more unbelievable.

JP: Do you think that they did it justice to your dreams, to your vision?

“It just goes back to showing up and doing the workpersistence. Work.

Re-working. Not expecting it to come out right the first time because we’re not Mozart.”

KD: I was thrilled with both movies. They were very different experiences, not only because of one being animated and one being live action, but because I was involved a lot with Winn Dixie and got to work on the screenplay. Then, The Tale of Despereaux, was like this beautiful dream that they constructed. I didn’t do anything at all but get to look at it in wonder. So yes, both times I was thrilled.

JP: We’re going to close the interview with a question I like to ask all of our creative celebrities…

KD: I like the words ‘creative celebrity!’

JP: I want to know your sincere advice to anyone that is getting into a creative field. What piece of advice can you give to someone who is just starting off?

KD: I will borrow advice from a book that I love called Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland. I love this book, it makes so many wonderful points about making art, and they are actually visual artists. But it’s about making any kind of art. They talk about how there is one Mozart born every century, one genius who hears the music and puts it directly down on paper and then they say, ‘Guess what, that’s not you’. So, if you want to make art you have to be willing to work and to make mistakes. It’s like that ten years when I didn’t write. That’s a long mistake but it shaped me and it gave me something. Every mistake brings you closer to figuring out who you are and how to do it.

I feel like I have been lucky that I have found what I am supposed to do, and that I get to do it. It just goes back to showing up and doing the work-- persistence. Work. Re-working. Not expecting it to come out right the first time because we’re not Mozart.

THE CREATIVE VOICE

ABSTRACT ARTIST HAROLD JACOBSON

by Lucy Lazarony

Palm Beach Gardens artist Harold Jacobson creates emotive abstract art in oil, acrylic and ink. A mostly selftaught artist, Jacobson discovered a love and passion for abstract art after he retired.

LUCY: What inspires your art?

LUCY: What do you enjoy about abstract painting?

LUCY: You are a largely self-taught artist but you do count the late Mahlon A. Cline, a teacher and director at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, as a mentor. You were one of a small group of painters that he mentored in South Florida.

What did you learn from him?

HJ: Art must be beautiful, emotional and creative while satisfying my inner soul. And I mean that because if I don’t feel it I can’t create it.

HJ: I love abstract. I have an abstract mind. But I can still do many of the other things.

Sometimes, I won’t touch a paintbrush for almost a month. And then I get a really productive period. It happens. I go in cycles. The other night until 2am.

Everything is in mind. That’s why I love abstract painting. I’m creating.

LUCY: How did the painting “Happiness,” which you describe as a “field of poppies, field of lollipops” get its name?

HJ: My granddaughters named the painting “Happiness.” My granddaughters said, “That makes us feel happy.”

LUCY: Are you often looking for names of paintings after you complete them?

“ Most (artists) don’t see things as they are. They see things as they create. ”

He told us, “There are no mistakes.

You are the artist. It’s the way you see things. Go with it.”

LUCY: You credit your wife, who you were married to for 46 years and who you were taking care of at the time, for urging you to pick up a paintbrush.

How did she support your art and creativity while you were her full-time caregiver?

HJ: Once in awhile, I will have things in mind. Usually, I come up with things after.

HJ: (I went to a class) in the local high school, just to placate my wife. She was hounding me every day, “You’re creative. Do something!” She gave me a wonderful gift and that’s why I’m painting.

LUCY: The titles of some of your other works are “Metamorphis” and “Rebirth of Spring.” Do you experience a great feeling of joy when creating your art?

For more information on the art of Harold Jacobson visit www. haroldjacobsonartist.com or call (561) 697-2691.

HJ: I am a happy person. Most (artists) don’t see things as they are. They see things as they create. That’s the way I paint.

I like the oils, the inks, the acrylics and I always like the pastels. I find with abstract I put a drop of realism. People like that a great deal.

HJ: Mahlon Cline was a good mentor for me. He was teaching us to think. In other words -- You have the merchandise. How do you want to use it? There were eight people that he mentored. We painted together. I learned more from him than I would in any school.

FASHION AND PASSION IN ACTION: The Shuzz 5th Annual Art & Fashion Show Do you remember your first pair of shoes?

Probably not, and I don’t either, but the earliest pair I do remember is a white pair of velcro G.I. Joes. I’ve always had shoes on my feet, at least when I needed them. I doubt anyone reading this grew up without a pair either. Now, you probably have many shoes – a style and color for every outfit and occasion. A surprising amount of kids in communities around the U.S. and abroad lack what most of us take for granted, and more often than not, they risk injury and disease when they walk to school, to the store or play outside barefoot.

Worlds away, on a balmy spring evening in early April, people from all over South Florida packed the Countess de Hoernle amphitheatre in Boca Raton dressed to impressed. The Shuzz annual fundraiser had been months in the making and the amount of planning and effort was evident in the finished product: a red carpet entrance with step & repeat backdrop, a stage with huge video screens, a 50 yard T-shaped catwalk with rows of chairs on all sides and a concert-worthy lighting and sound rig suspended from the ceiling. The VIP area was overflowing. NYY Steak served up rib eye and blue cheese pasta while their bartenders crafted cocktails and kept the champagne flowing and around 8, people started to take their seats.

Shuzz founder Rita Lombardo walked out to thunderous applause and thanked all the volunteers, sponsors, performers and guests for making the night possible. After her welcome, she turned the spotlight on Podiatric Doctor Jodi Schoenhaus, a Shuzz volunteer and board member. Jodi shared her story of having just performed a life-altering surgery on a four year old by the name of Akem Alcee they’d met on a recent relief trip to Guyana.

Already fighting the uphill battle of growing up in a poverty-stricken region of a third world country, he was born pigeon toed and even further disadvantaged; yet somehow he managed to maintain an upbeat attitude and smile on his face that the team fell in love with. So they made the decision and fundraised, then flew Akem and his mother to the US to perform reconstructive surgery and house them during the subsequent rehab therapy. Akem was wheeled out, legs still in casts and accompanied down the catwalk by Rita and Jodi to a standing ovation. The Cirque Dreams troupe flooded out onto the stage and down into the audience, looking for guests to make a part of the show. After identifying a few, they handed out a variety of bells fastened to stick, some big, some small and the clown conductor brought the entire

amphitheatre to a hush. With a wave of his baton he’d point at a specific participant to get the right tone at the right time and eventually progressed to chords. Despite certain rhythmic challenges, he was able to orchestrate a beautiful melody.

Following the Cirque performance, gorgeous models from Neiman Marcus strutted down the catwalk wearing the spring collection from Haute Hippie. Cirque returned after the fashion show with an impressive silk aerial duet and a pair of acrobatic balancing brothers, but the highlight of my night was meeting Logan Hicks (@loganhicksny). I’d been a fan of his work for a while and he was there representing a phenomenal piece he collaborated on with fellow street artist Joe Iurato (@joeiurato) entitled “Grow Into Greatness – Sailor” that was auctioned off that evening.

There are plenty of non-profits out there, many worthy of your time and attention – but if you’re looking for one with heart and sole, look no further than Shuzz.

Amazingly enough, Shuzz only has one person on their payroll (an executive administrator) and operating costs are covered by private donors.

This means 100% of donations go straight to shoe purchasing and distribution – over 60,000 pairs in the US and more than 85,000 to kids in 11 different countries to date. But as the numbers grew, so too did Rita’s vision.

What started out as a simple mission of wanting to put shoes on kid’s feet to prevent injury and illness blossomed and branched out into new territories. From their medical program that seeks to treat skin conditions, bone and joint issues and deformities like club foot and pigeon toes to their youth athletic program that gives kids who might not have the means to participate in sports the opportunity to do so.

It’s easy to lose sight of the impact a kind gesture can make in today’s world, where everything is on display and available for purchase at your fingertips. Seeing the smile on the face of a kid whose life just improved exponentially because they received something so basic, yet important, really helps to put things in perspective. There are plenty of non-profits out there, many worthy of your time and attention – but if you’re looking for one with heart and sole, look no further than Shuzz.
