Playing the Ponies W

BY ROBBIE CLARK | EDITOR

hat is it about April – when days are warmer and the birds are chirping in the trees and everything is budding up ready to gush forth with the season’s beauty – that makes me so excited to go throw away my hardearned money? Other people call it gambling, but these people must have actually won money at some point to be so positive. I’m terrible at gambling (unless you count Bingo; I’m really good at Bingo), so the practice is always akin to throwing money away, at least when we’re talking about my wallet, and especially when we’re talking about horse racing. Still, I love playing the ponies, and I look forward to Keeneland’s spring meet in April like a bookie eagerly waiting March Madness. But it’s gotten to the point where I don’t even bother saying I’m betting when I go to the track. I say I’m helping to buy the oats for the horses. And through the years, I’ve footed the bill for an oats smorgasbord. We all have friends who do well out at Keeneland, be it through their own devise or destiny – the ones with daily programs and chicken scratches on each page, the ones with children who can pick a winner because they like the horse’s name. We all have friends who accidentally stumbled into a lucrative trifecta ticket because they told the person at the window the wrong horse or got a hot tip on a long shot from some dude with a funny hat. And we all have friends who have actually left Keeneland with money in their pockets. Believe me, I am not this friend. I’m the friend trying to bum two bucks off of you for the last race (yes, I know there are cash machines out there, but that’s a road I don’t want to go down just yet). Even though I’m not from Lexington, I’ve been coming to Keeneland for a long time. When I was a kid, I remember being terrified as I sat in the classroom as the school secretary would come over the intercom and say I needed to come to the of fice, and then relieved when I saw my grandpa waiting in the hallway ready to take me the two hours to the track. We’d meet up with some of his friends, and we’d all hang out toward the finish line, away from the crowd, to watch the races. Even now when I go to Keeneland, I’ll check out a race or two by the finish-line post to see if any of these old characters are around. Sometimes they are, and I know I can always mooch a few bucks of f of them if I’m in a pinch. Later, when I was a student at UK, I remember my grandpa talking me out of going to class and meeting him at the track. He didn’t have to try too hard, it was an easy sell, especially since he gave me some seed money to bet with; whenever we left, he’d float me a $50 bill after I told him I lost all the money he gave me. So, I guess there have been a few times when I’ve left Keeneland with some money in my pocket, but it had nothing to do with my ability to pick a winner , and it’s been a long time. Still, I wouldn’t miss my seasonal obligation to buy some oats for the ponies for anything.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS Old Colony neighborhood receives ND-1 overlay Without a quorum present in the Urban County Council’s special hearing to vote on a potential ND-1 designation for the Old Colony neighborhood in early March, the design overlay automatically went into effect on March 13. In December, the Planning Commission voted to approve the overlay, after which the council had 90 days to vote on the matter. Different from an H-1 overlay, the ND-1 option allows a neighborhood to select from 15 specific design standards that can be customized to a particular neighborhood’s needs. Perry Bozarth, the president of the community’s neighborhood association, said the neighborhood was interested in implementing three criteria for the area: 1. No front-yard fencing, or front-yard retaining walls, 2. No more than one accessory structure that exceeds 12 foot by 15 foot (such as a detached storage building), and 3. No house could be torn down, and no new additions to a home could be made that would make the structure 25 percent of the footprint of the lot it sits on.

The roundabout, at the intersection of Keithshire Way and Wellington Way, saw 36 collisions in 2012.

Dunbar and Tates Creek shine in 2013 state Governor’s Cup Paul Laurence Dunbar took home another firstplace finish among high schools in the 2013 Governor’s Cup, which wrapped up March 18 in Louisville, and Tates Creek took top honors in the future problem-solving (FPS) portion. The annual contest consists of five written assessment exams, composition or on-demand writing, future problem-solving, and quick recall, also known as quiz bowl. Tates Creek finished ninth overall, while Dunbar was fourth in future problem-solving and a quarterfinalist in the quickrecall contest. Both Tates Creek and Dunbar’s future problem solving teams will advance to the international competition, held June 6 − 9 at Indiana University.

The Old Colony neighborhood was developed in 1948 and many of the homes are on lots close to an acre in size or larger. Bozarth said that no house in the neighborhood currently exceeds an 18 percent footprint of their lot. “So that still allows residents to continue to add on to their houses and still not exceed the standards, but still keep it in the character and eclectic nature of the neighborhood,” he said. Residents interested in obtaining the ND-1 overlay had been working on the initiative for four years . Bozarth said part of the long process for obtaining the overlay for the neighborhood included soliciting support among the neighbors. He said the neighborhood association sent out a petition to the neighborhood’s 71 households, of which 42 returned said they were in favor of the ND-1 designation and 18 were against; 11 did not respond. “Hopefully we’ve done something to preserve the beauty of the neighborhood for years to come ,” he said.

West Reynolds roundabout saw most collisions in 2012 According to the 2012 Traffic Analysis Summary and Comparison, which the Lexington Division of Police released in March, the West Reynolds Road roundabout was the “top intersection collision location” in the city for the year.

r. James “Greg” White is an orthodontist, entrepreneur , restaurateur and philanthropist. Over the past six years, the practice of White, Greer and Maggard has donated $1.3 million to specific projects, with $700,000 of it going to school systems in central Kentucky and a half-million to other or ganizations. “These are the things we’re involved in,” White said. “Some involve our patients and some don’t, but all of it involves community.” The orthodontics practice has made charitable contributions since 1991, but it was in 2005 that adding a philanthropic component to the business was “very intentional,” according to White. “We realized the more we became involved with people, the more people became involved with us,” he said. The majority of the practice’s marketing budget is ear marked for the or ganizations parents are passionate about, including schools, extracurricular activities and churches. Aside from the company’s namesakes, almost all other staf f members are women, and most of them are mothers. “I see what moms do,” White said. “It is an unbelievably dif ficult schedule to manage.” Rather than purchase an ad in a program or on a website, White finds it far more beneficial to sit down and have a meeting with the president of a local sports league, a school principal or the head of a PT A. “It’s a one-on-one process,” he said. “I want to see that need face to face.” The practice has purchased unifor ms for soccer teams, smartboards for classrooms, basketball goals for an elementary school and customized take-home folders for 50 local schools. For the July Fourth weekend in 2011, White’s Beaumont of fice

Southsider Magazine April 2013


hosted an outdoor party with hot-air balloon rides and face painting for anyone who showed up. About 2,500 people did. “There are so many distractions for kids now that move them away from activity,� White said. “Just play.� Many families have children attending dif ferent schools and participating in various activities, so chances are good that those parents will see several examples of White, Greer and Maggard sponsorships. White hears comments from his young patients’ parents almost daily, in the for m of “we’re here because of this.� The practice has six of fices in Lexington (Beaumont and Hambur g), Danville, Georgetown, Nicholasville and Richmond. With the blessing and support of partners Dr. Jim Greer and Dr. Michael “Brent� Maggard, White handles the practice’s charitable disbursements. Each of the partners has four children, and all are in agreement of supporting organizations that benefit parents and kids. It is marketing coordinator Alyssa Vance’s full-time job to field 15 to 25 requests per day. “I feel like Santa Claus,� she said. A combination of Santa and elf, that is, with lots of spreadsheets and cell phone reminders to help her keep track of everything. And yes, sometimes the answer to a request is no. “They know what I’m going to say yes to or not,� White said of the in-house marketing department. “There are tons of or ganizations we would love to be involved with, but they are not really within the scope of who we are as a practice.� When too many people are involved with decision-making, it’s too easy for time and money to be wasted. White receives a lot of ideas, then takes it to committee and makes a decision. “The most effective committees are made up of an odd number of people, less than three,� he said. Among other entrepreneurial ventures over the past 17 years, White is also the owner of four Fazoli’s restaurants and several of his own concept — Harvey’s Grill & Bar, Hayden’s Grill & Bar and Freakin’ Unbelievable Bur gers — located in Michigan. “Some people have a calling,� White said. It is his opinion that people who open restaurants aren’t called but lured. “Like a fish biting bait,� he said. Fun and positive attitudes are rampant throughout the orthodontics practice, and employee retention is good. The doctors honor staf f members with a David Yuman bracelet at the 10-year anniversary mark. Out of a staf f of 75, 20 have received that particular piece of jewelry. Forty employees have been with the practice more than five years. For new hires, White conducts the final interview and lays out his three steps to success: believing that the work you do is important, being mature by putting other people’s needs ahead of your own, and having a passion to leave any or ganization you enter better because you were there. “It’s not about punching keystrokes or sterilizing instruments,� he tells new employees. “You have the opportunity to have a positive impact on every person you meet. Your primary job is to make everyone feel special. What you do technically is aside from that.� By practicing what he preaches and focusing on doing things for other people, White has seen a pretty nice retur n on investment for the practice’s philanthropy. “Once we started giving, it was amazing how much we started receiving,� he said.

STORY BY ESTHER MARR

O

|

n a war m, March after noon, Henry Clay High School’s lacrosse team competed valiantly against Northern Kentucky and ran away with an impressive 10-1 victory. As the young players engaged in the fast-paced sport under clear, sunny skies, one thing was apparent: the sheer enjoyment and determination on their faces. Lacrosse is not a school-sponsored sport in Lexington, but rather a team activity made possible by the Lexington Youth Lacrosse Association. Currently offered at all of the city’s high schools and nine middle schools, as well as at Transylvania University as a N CAA Division III sport and at the University of Kentucky as a club sport, the LYLA board consists of coaches, officials, parents, and advocates of lacrosse and the sport’s development in the Lexington area.

Southsider Magazine April 2013

PHOTOS BY ROBBIE CLARK LYLA president Linda Borkosky, whose son plays for T ates Creek High School, caught her first glimpse of the sport’s positive impact on youth when she helped get a team started at T ates Creek Middle School five years ago. “I witnessed several boys that were not that vested in school suddenly have a reason to attend school regularly, keep their behavior in check, their grades at least at a 2.0 and have a connection to their school,” she said. “Anytime you can give students a reason to be connected to their school, good things usually happen.” As enthusiasm for the sport started to spread around the city, L YLA grew rapidly, with the or ganization adding around nine teams to public schools in the last few years. This year , LYLA plans to launch the first girls’ middle and high school teams.


All Lexington high schools, including Henry Clay (shown here), as well as nine middle schools, have lacrosse teams through LYLA.

GREAT GEAR MASTER OUTFITTERS SINCE 1974 “It’s a lot of work but when you see the rewards of players on the field enjoying a great sport, it’s suddenly all worth it,” Borkosky said. LYLA also sponsors youth and middle school lacrosse conglomerate teams called the Lexington Lizards for players in the Lexington area that do not have a school team. “Lacrosse has exploded in popularity as more kids see the game played on ESPN and on the high school field,” said Candace Clay, a local parent that helped get the Lexington Lizards off the ground. Kim Eldridge, who serves as the LYLA field committee chair, feels lacrosse has gained quick popularity because of the ability of most individuals to pick up the sport, become proficient and hone their skills in a fairly quick manner . Youth also develop an af finity for lacrosse because of the fast-paced, exciting nature of the game. “There’s also room (in the sport) for people that aren’t experienced,” Eldridge said. “As soon as my son, Grayson, picked up a stick he was hooked. When your kid hasn’t liked any other team sport, and they find something they love, you find a way for them to play.” Grayson and Clay’s son, Sam, were able to play lacrosse with Sayre’s youth team in fourth grade. Even though they didn’t attend Sayre, the school let them join since it didn’t have enough members to field a team. N ow teenagers and still going strong in the sport, Grayson and Sam currently play for Henry Clay High School. Julie McDonald, the coordinator for the newly launched girls’ lacrosse teams, has a son that plays for Morton Middle School. She noted that lacrosse is known as “the fastest sport on two feet.” “Players and parents quickly become addicted to lacrosse because it combines all the most exciting features of other

sports into one game,” she said. “Lacrosse also has a very strong national governing body, U.S. Lacrosse, and a strong local or ganization, LYLA, that have ensured the game grows with a continuing emphasis on safety and sportsmanship.” “(Lacrosse) offense is similar to basketball – pick and rolls, backdoor cuts, and give-and-go passing,” added veteran lacrosse expert Terry Justice, who is currently the head coach at T ransylvania University. “The contact is similar to both football and hockey. The hand-eye coordination needed to catch and throw the ball with a lacrosse stick is similar to baseball skills.” Justice’s experience in the sport began when he helped for m the University of Kentucky lacrosse club in 1979. Over the years, he has coached many of Lexington’s current middle school and high school coaches, as well as officials. Even though lacrosse is ever -popular and relatively safe, Eldridge said one of the challenges L YLA faces with the growth of lacrosse in Lexington is finding safe field space on which teams can practice and play. “Open city parks space is first come, first serve, and often leagues are competing with each other for field space,” she explained.

While Lexington Parks & Recreation has helped L YLA obtain field per mits, there are no fields that can be dedicated to lacrosse since it is a new sport. Space exists at Shillito Park to develop four multi-use fields, but so far there hasn’t been support for funding to move the project forward. Ben Schaefer, who recently founded a local summer travel lacrosse program with four age divisions, has the distinction of being a high school All American while playing lacrosse at Tates Creek. He went on to play the sport at three dif ferent colleges, including Jacksonville University, a Division I program. “It’s the best game in the world,” said Schaefer, who returned to Lexington last year after finishing graduate school. Schaefer is now an associate head coach at Tates Creek High School. “Lacrosse is interesting in that it does not necessarily require you to be the best athlete like a lot of other sports,” he added. “Instead, you will see success if you work hard, develop solid stick work, and find a role to fill on the field. I feel that it’s very unique in that manner. Also, the game is special in that if you commit yourself to it, you will be amazed at the number of opportunities it can provide. I have always been grateful for that. Now it’s important that I stay involved, give back, and hopefully provide others with the same opportunities I had.” Schaefer and Logan Otto, a for mer standout lacrosse attackman and current coach at Lexington Catholic, decided to form the summer travel program in the spring of 2011. The two men had observed several lacrosse programs in other states and took note of how beneficial travel programs were in those “hotbed” regions. “Kids taking part in these programs were improving at a rate far quicker than those on the outside because at every practice they were receiving excellent coaching and they were playing top teams from around the country,” Schaefer said. “We knew we had to start a program to help Lexington catch up with the development other lacrosse communities are seeing around us.” During the program’s first summer , Schaefer and Otto showcased their inaugural team and enjoyed traveling with the players and families. In summer 2013 they expanded to of fer the opportunity to all age levels and the program subsequently grew to four teams. This summer, Schaefer anticipates participation from nearly 115 players that and will travel to four dif ferent states for seven tournaments.

SPRING STYLES HAVE ARRIVED!

IN BRIEF:

LACROSSE RULES • There are 10 players on each team: three attackers, three midfielders, three defenders and a goalie. • Each team must keep four players, including the goalie, in its defensive half of the field and three in its offensive half. The midfielders may use the entire field.

316 S. Ashland Ave | (859) 266-6420 www.johnsnewclassic.com

• Points are scored by slinging the ball into the opponent's goal. • Players can advance the ball by carrying it in their stick (crosse) or passing to another player. Only goalies can pick the ball up with their hands. • A player may gain possession of the ball by dislodging it from an opponent's stick with a stick check, which includes poking and slapping the stick and gloved hands of the player in control of the ball. • Body checking is permitted if the opponent has the ball. All contact must occur from the front or side, above the waist and below the shoulders. • An attacking player cannot enter the space designated for the goalie, but may reach into this area with the stick. • Games are 48 minutes long, with four 12-minute quarters. • Each quarter begins with a "faceoff," where the ball is placed between the sticks of two squatting players in the center of the field. After the official blows the whistle, each player tries to gain control of the ball. Face-offs are also used after goals.

room for

a redo

Three local designers chime in on ways to give specific rooms of your house a makeover

W

ho knows what sparks our desire to redo a room? It could be something obvious, like a child moving out and you finally have the chance to get that guest bedroom you’ve always wanted. It could be something subtle, like wanting to incorporate a new piece of fur niture into a room. Or it could be that you’re just plain being tired of looking at the same thing day after day and only a new coat of paint can break the monotony. Sometimes redoing a room can be so daunting, it takes all the fun out of creating a new space in your home. There are many things that need to be considered: color , material, textures, furniture, accessories, functionality, and, of course, a budget. Whether it is a complete over haul of your living room or a few tweaks to the color scheme in your kitchen, redoing one, or more, of your rooms requires just as much forethought as it does creativity. We asked a couple of local designers – Heather Reilly, from adele; Dwayne Anderson, from house by jsd; and Megan Green, from For Friends – to give us some pointers and other aspects to consider when redoing certain rooms of the house, using some of their recent projects as examples.

If you think colored cabinets might be too bold for your kitchen, try adding color to your island. Simple trays on the island can be functional, and attractive, design elements to keep clutter in check.

redid:

edoing your living room starts with a little pillow talk. Tired of your sofa, but not ready for a new one? Pillows are the easy answer . The first step is to find a few toss pillows already pre-made at a local design shop. I think of these pillows as the Milli V anilli of the design world – pretty to look at, but they really don’t sing. Find a fabric that make those basic pillows earn their money. Look for ikat, chevron or tribal patter ns – timeless in themselves, yet very new again. The scale of these prints have become larger and new bolder colors have been introduced to really capture the spirit of today’s design focus. The next step for refreshing this room is working with the windows. When choosing window treatments, the humble drapery panel is a classic option. The linen, Euro pleat style is hard to beat and versatile. Like the “little black dress,” linen can be dressed up or down, yet is always timeless and goes with virtually anything. The last, easy step to a room makeover is the humble can of paint. Everyone needs a few fans, and I say the paint fan deck should be in everyone’s life. I think of a humble neutral as a bowl vegetable soup. The soup can be hearty and filling but a little bland. The right spice changes everything. Neutral does not have to be bland. The classic Lexington paint color Newport Tint is a great color, but other options do exist. I recently used a Sherwin Williams color called Garden Urn. It is a dark grey with muddy undertones and a slight green cast in certain lights. The name really does describe this color beautifully. Dwayne Anderson is a designer with house by jsd. For more information, call (859) 523-3933 or visit www.housebyjsd.com.

I could not disagree more – yes, granite is a very good answer and pricing has become more competitive – but is not the only answer. In good design, texture can make a room. Granite is always an option for counters, and pricing has become more competitive over the years, but it’s not the only option. Instead of going with granite, the island top in our design project is a butcher block, stained a rich English walnut.

When decorating for a nursery, try to go with colors and accessories that can be alter ed without too much effort as the child ages. Repurposed items from around the house make great additions.

redid:

nursery BY HEATHER REILLY

A

nursery should retain a sense of practicality and youthfulness. Using these guidelines to plan ahead the first time will prevent you from having to do major updates every few years. When it comes to paint colors, think outside the box of your typical pink and blue. Calming neutrals can easily be accented with bold fabrics and accessories. Neutral paint will also allow you to change the accent colors over time. Look for vintage pieces that have already withstood the test of time. These can easily be updated with a fresh coat of non-toxic paint. T ry a glossy finish for a more modern look. Choosing durable fabrics is essential when designing for children. There are a plethora of designer fabrics available with an indoor -outdoor finish that can be wiped down ef fortlessly. Find prints that will reflect your child’s personality. For instance, a bright colored geometric pattern would be well suited for a fun-loving little girl, while a classic blanket plaid in

blues, reds and tans would work well for a boy and be something that will never go out of style. Look for art work around the house that has meaning. Old paint by numbers, a movie poster of your favorite movie, vintage silhouettes and family photographs from past generations are all unique and thoughtful ways to add a bit of history to a child’s room. Create a gallery wall by reframing these in sleek white frames and hanging them in a grouping. If you must introduce a theme, do so through accessories. For instance, if your child loves baseball, try restricting the baseball theme to framed baseball cards rather than wallpapering the room with pennants. Eventually the cuteness of the juvenile theme will fade and you’ll be redecorating in a few years. Heather Reilly is the owner of adelé (445 S. Ashland Ave.).

dining room BY MEGAN GREEN

A

t For Friends, when we begin a dining room project, our first objective is to determine the size, shape and formality of the dining table. The table selection sets the tone for how the remaining finishes will be specified. In this case we were able to place a beautiful sterling silver filled breakfront on the north wall and a Schumacher custom made buffet on the east wall, both of which are functional as well as instrumental design elements. Lighting is then taken into consideration. The shape and scale of our scalloped drum shade allows for a bit of a light hearted flair while being right at home with our traditional approach. The sconces are strong enough to flank either side of our focal point, without over powering our main chandelier as the primary light source. A

dimmer on all switches is always suggested to create your best lighting ambiance. Our grass-cloth textured walls, in a rich coffee tone, create a war m and cozy backdrop for the art and wall hangings. The floor covering in a horizontal, tone on tone, wool carpet presents a distinctive frame around our dining table, as well as sets and defines our seating space. As designer Jill McCarty likes to say, “the most important part of any dining room is the people who gather there, even more than the room itself.� Cheers to lots of fun and memorable meals together with friends and family.

The table needs to set the tone for the dining room. Dimmers on all the light switches are also a good way to achieve the ambiance you are looking for with any engagement. PHOTOS BY ROBBIE CLARK

PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST

CHINN UP MULTI-MEDIA ARTIST STACEY CHINN USES A VARIETY OF MATERIAL TO COMPOSE ART ON AN EVEN WIDER VARIETY OF TOPICS

S

BY SARAYA BREWER SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

tacey Chinn got an initial whif f of her future vocation when her first grade teacher told her she was going to be an artist. “I guess I was fairly impressionable at the age of 6,” said the multi-media artist, who served as the head of Geor getown College’s sculpture department for three years, and has served as adjunct faculty in the University of Kentucky and Easter n Kentucky art departments. Chinn is one of over 30 regional female artists who will be presenting work at the upcoming “Femme-A-N est” group art show, a Gallery Hop event and benefit for The Nest Center for W omen, Children and Families, with a general “nesting” theme. Chinn will feature several photographs; an installation representing a dozen “nests” or egg-like forms hanging from clothespins; and A knitted piece that incorporates man-made yar n as well as rubber bands, metal wire, grocery bags and other materials. Known for incorporating a variety of unusual materials into her pieces – synthetic hair , fibers, found objects, metal, wool, wood – Chinn says her attention span is much like that of her 5-year -old daughter. “I’ll be working on something and I’ll literally stumble upon something else,” she said. This was the case with the photographs that she’s including in the Gallery Hop show – she had been traipsing around in a field, looking for a large stick to incorporate into another piece, when she came across a large pile of scrap metal resembling a nest. She took some photos, thinking the images could inspire a “nesting” piece for the show, and then it occurred to her that the photographs themselves were nest-themed works of art. “When I think about nesting, you take what’s around your environment and make it into something,” she said. Chinn took some time away from nesting to answer some questions about her art and other interests. For more images and infor mation about Chinn’s art – including a link to her newest line of wearable art, “alter -knit-ive,” visit her website, www.staceyrchinn.com.

What’s currently on your iPod/ CD player/ r ecord table? Adele, Billie Holiday, Dolly Parton, Mamas and the Papas, Missy Higgins, Pink, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Rufus W ainwright, Vanessa Carlton, Yann Tiersen, and everything in between. Favorite TV show? “Project Runway” – hands down. What are some of your favorite local haunts?

I think downtown, with its assortment of hot spots, has an eclectic vibe. On any given Friday night, however, you’re most likely to find me curled up on my couch, knitting. You have used lots of different media in your art: sculpture, photography, paintings, textiles. Do you have a favorite medium? Is ther e one you’d like to pursue but haven’t yet?

I tend to approach making each work by having the thought first, then applying whatever processes or materials best suit the idea. I guess that makes me more of a “Jill of all trades...” The exploratory nature of my work and my interest in experimentation, problem solving, and lear ning with each new piece leaves little room for mastery, I suppose. I’d say I am more drawn to threedimensional works and often try to mingle various media in a singular piece (for example, paintings that have wooden legs, paper that is woven or sewn, or sculptures made completely from knitting). I have yet to create a lar ge-scale fiber-textile installation, which interests me greatly. Ideas for that are currently gathering force. Talk a bit about the materials you use – where do you find them? How do you decide which materials to use?

I admit that I have hoarding tendencies, but favor calling myself a “collector.” I will pick up anything that I think Femme-A-Nest Art Show may have the potential to be incorporat6 - 8 p.m., April 19 (Gallery Hop) ed into a piece.

I also use materials and processes that reference tradition and personal narratives – both mine and others’ – and those that engender a more quiet response, as in “It’s What’s for Dinner” (2010), where knitted sausage links protrude from an old meat grinder given to me by my grandmother . Are there specific themes you tend to explor e with your art?

With Support From

Do you employ any sort of rituals or r outines to get your cr eative juices flowing?

Many people have addictions; mine is making art. I think about creating things all the time. I am forever on the lookout for inspiration and consider just about everything around me as fodder for my craving – a good find, a particular conversation, or something I see in a magazine. I especially like it when a revelation about making a work comes from out of the blue, as it often does.
