ne thing I have always liked about being in a creative profession is the opportunity for col-laboration. This issue, our second annual Arts

Issue, is the perfect example. Earlier this year, local artists Inese Westcott and Eva Stephanus stopped by my office with a story idea regarding their char-ity, Art Makes You. I said I would keep them in mind for the Arts Issue in the fall. In the following months, they tenaciously kept in touch, calling and dropping off informa-tional material and invitations to their fun-draisers. Their energy and enthusiasm was ceaseless and infectious. You can read about their story on page 40. At a separate time, I met longtime dancer and painter Barbi Leifert, and I im-mediately knew she would make a great member profile for the issue. What I didn’t expect, however, was that in the midst of all the planning Barbi would agree to donate her dance-inspired paintings to Art Makes You. When I found out all the members profiled in the issue knew each other, I decided to have them work together in yet one more way. I asked Westcott, a photographer by trade, to shoot the photos of Barbi. Stephanus, primarily an illustrator, assisted. You can see the result of the collaboration and read about Barbi on page 32. I wanted to share this backstory because I think it is indicative of the current artist community here in the PNW, and the willingness of artists to support one another. Another indication of growing support for arts on the Eastside is the creation of the Tateuchi Center. You can read about the progress of the performing arts center on page 28.

ello, Bellevue Club! My name is Bonnie Tankovich, and while we may not have had the pleasure of meeting yet, it is my hope that you have indirectly felt my presence at

the Club over the last couple of years. In 2013 I became the Club’s graphic designer respon-sible for all the visual communication you see around the Club. This includes flyers, posters, brochures, menus and even the design of Re-flections magazine. As a designer, art plays a large role in my day-to-day life. I am constantly looking for inspiration in the world around me, and in doing so, I have found that my definition of art is always evolving. Currently, I believe art is anything created to evoke an emotional response in the viewer. Fol-lowing this definition, art can be anything: a traditional oil painting, a book cover, an engagement ring, the lyrics to a song or even graffiti painted on the side of the highway. Art is everywhere, and whether we realize it, art has an impact on our perception of the world. Vincent van Gogh said, “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” This is the approach we take here at the Bellevue Club. Every day we are given the opportunity to add to your member experience through the design of several projects. And while they range in size from small coupon cards to multipage articles in the magazine, I hope the visual library we have built for you is one that keeps you interested and engaged. As with many things, art is subjective. The way one person perceives it will invariably differ from the view of another. There is an endless array of varying tastes and preferences, and because of this, we try to keep a fresh approach to design. We are always working hard behind the scenes to unveil new designs for our magazine, menus, newsletters and other projects. It is our goal to create some-thing new and eye-catching for you every time you visit our pages.

of note2015 PORTLAND BRIDGE SWIM

STUDIO 1 REFRESH

Congratulations to Bellevue Club member Ed Switaj who took first place in the 2015 Portland Bridge Swim, an 11-mile race in the Willamette River that runs right through downtown Portland and under 12 bridges. This year there were 66 solo swimmers and 13 relay teams. Switaj finished with a time of 3 hours 37 minutes, breaking the course record by 12 minutes. To get a sense of the range of times, the last swimmer came in at 7 hours 30 minutes.

Studio 1 will be closed for renovation starting Thursday, August 27 with a scheduled reopening in mid-November. In the interim, we have added equipment to create a temporary workout space in the racquet sports area. As a reminder, the expansion has full-service equipment in Studio 2, 3 & 4.

Thank you for your patience while we refresh this space.

THE PARLOR LIVE COMEDY CLUB, Bellevue and Seattle After much success at their Bellevue location, the Parlor Live Comedy Club decided to open their second club in downtown Seattle. Featuring hot talent, great food and drinks, and a high-class atmosphere with an enforced dress code, the Parlor Live continues to be one of Seattle’s most frequented comedy clubs. They received the 2015 Seattle Nightlife Award for Best Comedy Club, and with headliners like Heather McDonald and Carlos Mencia, it is easy to see why. Upcoming performers include Rod Man and Jon Lovitz. For more information, visit parlorlive.com.

LAUGHS COMEDY SPOT, Kirkland Laughs got its start in the former Bellevue DoubleTree hotel where the owners enjoyed 10 years of success. They searched all over the Eastside for the ideal permanent location and became Kirkland’s only comedy club in the summer of 2007. Laugh’s newly remodeled 200-seat theater targets upscale patrons from the greater Seattle area. They have received much praise from the community, being named “Best of City” by Comcast. Upcoming performers include Brad Upton and Jake Johannsen. For more information, visit laughscomedy.com.

THE COMEDY UNDERGROUND, Pioneer Square Since opening its doors in 1981, the Comedy Underground has been considered one of the most respected nightclubs in the country. They are known for presenting hilariously talented acts and many major comedians early in their careers, such as Ellen DeGeneres and Jerry Seinfeld. In addition to featuring famed acts, they are committed to local talent with Monday Madness Open Mic—Seattle’s longest-running open mic. Upcoming performers include Jimmy O. Yang and Kat Radley. For more information, visit comedyunderground.com.

WHAT’S SO FUNNY?Inside the art of comedy on the Eastside

SEASON OF THE SQUASHRevisit one of fall’s most health-giving vegetables

It’s hard to say goodbye to the fresh and sweet flavors of summer, but autumn welcomes an abundance of healthy and tasty foods as well. Squash comes in all shapes and flavors, and depending on the type, it can be a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and fiber. This versatile vegetable may also help improve eyesight, boost skin health, protect heart health, prevent cancer, reduce insomnia symptoms, build strong bones, boost the immune system, manage diabetes symptoms, prevent inflammatory condi-tions, treat arthritis, eliminate ulcers and infections, protect against birth defects, increase prostate health, boost respiratory health and reduce blood pressure.

• 3 tablespoons olive oil• ½-pound zucchini, cut in one-inch chunks• ½-pound yellow squash, cut in one-inch chunks• 1 pint baby Sun Gold or grape tomatoes, halved• 1 cup torn basil leaves• 1 cup torn mint leaves• Salt and pepper to taste • 1/4 cup toasted, slightly crushed Marcona almonds• 2 tablespoons feta cheese

METHOD:In a wok or large sauté pan over high heat, add the olive oil. Add the squash, sauté for four minutes. Then add the tomatoes and cook for four more minutes. Lastly, add the basil, mint, salt and pepper, and sauté 30 more seconds. Sprinkle the crushed almonds and feta. Serve.

EASTSIDEAND THE ARTS

BELLEVUE is continually referred to as a satellite city, and understandably so. However, research shows that the Eastside is among the top four demographic areas in the United States primed for cultural expansion, and the Tateuchi Center is at the heart of its evolution. The Tateuchi Center w ill be a pr em ier pr efor m i ng a r t s venue i n downtown Bellevue, featuring a 2,000-seat concert hall and 250-seat black box theater that will showcase the finest regional, national and international music, theater and dance. The space hopes to be one of the first world-class performing arts centers of the 21st century. “ T a t e u c h i C e n t e r h a s b e e n painstakingly designed by a team of the m o s t e x p er i en c e d a n d pr om i n ent architects and theater professionals in the country,” says John Haynes, executive director and CEO of Tateuchi Center. “We worked together over a period of more than three years to create a performing arts center for Bellevue and the Eastside that will rival any similar cultural facility on the West Coast.”

The plan for the theater began in 2002 with the Performing Arts Center Eastside (PACE) and the mission to bring a performing arts center to Bellevue. In 2010, the board of directors named the project Tateuchi Center to honor a $25 m i l lion g i f t f rom the Tateuchi Foundation, one of the largest pledges in regional history. T he Cit y of B el lev ue ha s a lso recognized the need for Eastside residents to have a cultural arts facility, and in May 2015 the city donated $20 million to Tateuchi Center. This commitment from the city to the arts invigorated the project. Tateuchi Center is poised to become one of the premier cultural centers in the Northwest. The Paramount Theatre, the 5th Avenue Theatre, Benaroya Hall and McCaw Hall are among Tateuchi Center’s peers, but the Tateuchi will be the only major facilit y outside of dow ntow n Seat tle. Members f rom t he Seat tle Sy mphony, the 5th Avenue Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet and Village Theatre are represented on the Tateuchi Center’s advisory board.

“ We have the suppor t of loca l a r ts g roups a nd communities because we all understand that the arts are amazing and there is a need to fill in the Eastside,” says Christina Greene, associate director. “We would be an Eastside location for the Sy mphony a nd the Pacif ic Northwest Ballet.” Tat euch i C ent er w i l l pr esent a s m a ny a s 10 0 performances annually by regional and international performers from a variety of genres, appealing to patrons from all walks of life and bringing entertainment, expression and ideas to the Eastside. “Bellevue is a diverse population and we have all this confluence of people from different places in the world coming together,” says Greene. “We want to be able to provide diverse programming that appeals to people of diverse interests.” Building the Tateuchi Center is a priority for the Eastside community in many ways. It will create jobs, improve economic competiveness, strengthen regional arts groups and bring the Eastside to center stage as a cultural hub. Currently, the Tateuchi Center is focusing on raising remaining funds so they can stay on schedule and break ground in spring 2017 to open in fall 2019—just in time for the performing arts season to begin. “Tateuchi Center will change lives. It will change the community and forge stronger bonds between us as neighbors and friends,” says Haynes. “That’s what the arts do. And I know that the day will come when the people of our region will scarcely believe they ever made do without it.”


MEET BELLEVUE CLUB MEMBER BARBI LEIFERT, A LOCAL DANCER AND ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE

Throughout her life, Barbi Leifert’s penchant for the art of dance has taken many forms. “I always really liked dance. I just felt I had it in my soul,” she says. “I was born with it, and I love it. And when something feels that good, you pursue it.”

Raised in Brooklyn, in a family of dancers, Leifert’s foray with the art form began in a traditional sense as she entered into dance school at age 3 and learned the classics: tap, ballet and jazz. Following her passion, she danced for Monmouth University, Cal State Long Beach and eventu-

ally Skidmore College. “We did all types of dance. Those days, it was six hours a day of dancing,” she says. “When you’re 18, 19, 20 years old, you can just do that.”

Upon graduation from school, Leifert danced with an “avant garde company in downtown Soho when nothing was there except artists and lofts.” At the time, she was also nourishing a budding career in communications and busi-ness, which eventually led her to move to Seattle. That was about 20 years ago, but she never lost the urge to dance. She still does so at the local studio Spectrum Dance Theater.

36 | september 2015 reflections36 | september 2015 reflections36 | september 2015 reflections

But, all the while, another form of artistic expression was repeatedly welling up inside her: painting. “When I was growing up, at the same time I was dancing, I found I liked drawing and painting. My uncle, who was a printer, would come over to the house and bring reams of paper, and I thought that was just so fantastic,” Leifert says. “And I always leaned toward the arts in school, and I studied painting at the Brooklyn Museum on Sat-urdays when I wasn’t dancing.”

But it wasn’t until about four years after moving to Seattle that Leifert began to paint seriously. She attended Gage Academy for some formal training, and then began crafting her style. “The first thing I did was master copies of Picasso and Matisse. Then I started to do a kind of different take on Picasso. They were abstract landscapes, and I did one and brought it to a gallery in Kirkland,” she says. “I walked into Phillips Gallery, and I showed this beautiful women, Sherry Barnes, my painting. She said, ‘That’s interesting; can you do more like that?’ Two months later I had five more paintings, and she had them up in the gallery.”

“I always really liked dance. I just felt I had it in my soul. I was born with it, and I love it. And when something feels that good, you pursue it.”


Not too long after, Leifert was inspired to blend the two art forms. Giving up the abstract landscapes, she began using dancers’ forms in her paintings. “I love the lines of dancers’ bodies. The musculature, the strength and the movement it creates. It’s all so beau-tiful. And it’s something I know intimately from all my years performing those postures.”

Leifert has now shown her art across the country, including galleries and expos as far away as Florida and New York. She also has shown her work at various West Coast locations in Seattle and California. Among other endeavors, this fall she has a show opening on September 24 at the Lanyon 36 Gallery in New York. The show features her latest series, titled “Dancer’s Palette,” which bespeaks of her ongoing connection to dance.

The show encompasses 10 new works, all of which are done in a similar style meant “not to show dancers on a stage but to show different moments in dance.” The paintings, many of which are large in scale, high-light dancer figures in vibrant colors and interesting shapes. She describes them as “abstract figurative.”

“The most important thing for me is that people want to live with the paintings because they vibrate a certain energy. I want people to get energy when they see them, get a jolt and be lifted up by having the painting in their home,” Leifert says.

Primarily inspired by the jazz musicians and dancers on Broadway and the great dancers of the New York and Seattle ballets, Leifert paints all her works in a small, renovated studio overlooking Lake Union behind her home in Capitol Hill. There, she hangs many different paintings, all in various stages of completion, and tediously applies layer after layer of color and texture. Due to the style and size of her paintings, Leifert says she relies heavily on her ability to still be physical.

“I have to be physically fit to paint; it requires a great deal of stamina,” she says. “That’s why I do yoga at the Club, to keep myself in shape. Yoga works for me because it’s kind of like dance.”

Leifert’s goals as an artist are to eventually go international with her work.

“I’m really starting to get the idea of what I’m do-ing and all that I want to accomplish,” Leifert says. “And I’m prepared to work very hard.”

art makes you

In what may seem like an unlikely connection, two local artists and Bellevue Club members are joining the city of Seattle with the cities of Riga, Latvia and Kharkiv, Ukraine in hopes of bettering the lives of underprivileged children in all three locations. The string that binds it all together: art.

Inese Westcott, a photographer originally from Latvia, and Eva Stephanus, an illustrator and painter born in Ukraine, met in Seattle about seven years ago and became fast friends, bonding over their common passion for the arts.

“One day I said, ‘Eva, listen. I love my job doing photography, and I know you can do great stuff. Why don’t we just do something together and give back in some way?’ ” Westcott says. At the time, Westcott and Stephanus were both already engaged in local charitable work, but they felt they wanted to do something more in line with their personalities, histories and goals.

It took virtually no time to decide the beneficiaries.

ARTMAKESYOU.

The story of two artists who are taking their passion for helping children worldwide.


“I have always been passionate about children. To me, they are the most important thing. Children are innocent, and I feel like all the attention should be going to them,” Westcott says. The two populations she felt she could help most immediately were naturally Seattle, her current residence, and her hometown, Riga.

“In my case, I didn’t just want to simply support her cause,” Stephanus says. “Ukraine and Russia are in a state of war, and a lot of children are victims, have lost parents and experienced heinous things I can’t even explain. Previously, we’ve had fundraisers where the money provided necessities, money and shelter. But since Art Makes You, we are all about giving back using art.”

Art Makes You is the name they gave their non-profit,

which officially launched in September 2014. The women explain that the goal of the organization is to host five-day art camps for underprivileged children in all three countries. “We chose children 10 to 12 years old because we wanted to find people who are about to get out in life and might not know what to do,” Westcott says. “They might feel lost, and art can help them.” For now, they hope to be able to fund about 10 children per country.

“The idea behind our camp is to help kids in a fun way. So imagine children who do not have much in life going through stress, hard times. Then they get simple healing through art, get fun times by learning a new trade from professionals,” Stephanus says. “The kids will have the chance to be inspired, and then maybe find themselves alive.”

“

”

The women say they will work with other prominent professional artists—painters, photographers, actors—in the different locations and have them volunteer to lead classes, reminding children about the possibility of art as a future. “Every child is a creative artist. But then we grow up, and we get concerned with other things. We forget we have these talents,” Westcott says. “We want to keep them exposed to arts.”

This September, the charity’s one-year anniversary, the women are hosting their third fundraiser event at the Gunnar Nordstrom art gallery in Bellevue. They are partnering with local artists of all kinds to create “an enchanting night.” There will be a violinist, classical dancers and more. All proceeds go directly toward Art Makes You.

“The most important thing to get across about our fundraisers is that they’re fun. We want to show the fun side of art. We want it to be different; and there will be a surprise guest, an artist,” Westcott says. Stephanus adds that she will be creating a special line of t-shirts with her artwork on them, a popular item from the previous two fundraisers.

YOU


In Nashville, you’ll never lack for good food, fun shops, amazing art and—of course—unrivaled music


w r i t t e n b y h a l e y s h a p l e y


You know it for its honky-tonks, bedazzled boots and soulful crooners, and there’s no doubt country music is woven into the fabric of Nashville. But there’s plenty more to this Tennessee destination that’s guaranteed to surprise you. Don’t sing a song of regret by missing out—let this guide help you plan a trip to Music City. OMNI NASHVILLE HOTEL

bellevue club september 2015 | 49photography provided by the country music hall of fame & omni nashville hotel

STAY The grande dame of Nashville hotels, the HERMITAGE HOTEL has been a beacon of Southern hospitality for more than 100 years. It also boasts what might be the only men’s restroom that ladies would want to take a peek at—the green-and-black Art Deco–styled bathroom has served as the background for multiple music videos over the years. On the modern end of the spectrum, HUTTON HOTEL offers boutique luxury in an eco-friendly package, with electric car charging stations, biodegradable cleaning products and card readers that turn off lights when you exit the room. The beautifully sleek OMNI NASHVILLE HOTEL, which opened two years ago to much acclaim, is located right downtown and conveniently attached to the impressive COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM.

EAT Start the day off right with a plate full of pancakes at the PANCAKE PANTRY, a Nashville institution dating back to 1961. You can’t go wrong with the best-selling Sweet Potato Pancakes topped with cinnamon cream syrup, but if you’re in the mood for a different flavor profile, there are more than 20 options to choose from, including Caribbean, Santa Fe Cornmeal, and Apricot-Lemon. At dinnertime, URBAN GRUB offers a smorgas-bord of pretty much anything you could want, all with a bit of a Southern twist—save room for the Banana Pudding Pie to cap off the meal. For drinks, grab an artfully crafted cup of coffee at the über-hip BARISTA PARLOR, an old-fashioned soda or milk shake at the PHARMACY, or a creative cocktail at the speak-easy-style PATTERSON HOUSE, a sophisticated hangout that’s worth the wait.

CORSAIR DISTILLERY


SHOP If you’ve ever watched the History Channel’s American Pickers, or if you just have an appreciation for cool old stuff, you’ll want to drop by ANTIQUE ARCHAEOLOGY. Here, you can see some of Mike and Frank’s picks from the show and may catch live music. It’s set in the old Marathon Motor Works factory, where there are other shopping opportunities (and sipping ones, at CORSAIR DISTILLERY, which offers worthwhile tours and tastings). For funky boutiques, East Nashville’s the place. A collection of shops called the IDEA HATCHERY includes a vintage Airstream trailer with arts and crafts, a gourmet oatmeal company and a contemporary men’s clothing store, among others.

SEE Anchored by renowned sculptor Alan LeQuire, the LEQUIRE GALLERY features contemporary figurative art from an array of artists. LeQuire is best known for his larger-than-life creations, including Musica—one of the largest bronze figure groups in the world—and Athena Parthe-nos, which you can see down the road at the PARTHENON. A replica of the original Greek sculpture, erected in Athens in ancient times, LeQuire’s version is the largest indoor sculpture in the Western Hemisphere. For more art, visit the FRIST CENTER FOR THE VISUAL ARTS, located in a historic U.S. Post Office building, which hosts traveling exhibits throughout the year. Brimming with beautiful display gardens and an impressive collection of paintings and sculptures, CHEEKWOOD—a mansion owned by the Cheek family of Maxwell House coffee fame—is a lovely spot to while away an afternoon.

LISTEN Music is a must in Nashville, and you’re unlikely to get very far without hearing some tunes—musicians perform in the airport while radios downtown blare songs. Lower Broadway teems with legendary honky-tonks, including the famously purple TOOTSIES ORCHID LOUNGE and perennially popular ROBERT’S WESTERN WORLD. Nearby, learn about one of Nashville’s biggest stars at the JOHNNY CASH MUSEUM, a comprehensive look at the life of the Man in Black. It’s worth a trip to the BLUEBIRD CAFE, an intimate performance venue for singer-songwriters. Set in a strip mall, the outside doesn’t have the ambience of some of Nashville’s other venues, but inside, you’re guaranteed a memorable evening. Make reservations ahead of time since the space seats only 90.

Essential oils have long been

thought to possess the power

to help physical, mental and

emotional health by stimulating

the body’s natural processes.

You can now experience the

influence firsthand at The Spa

at the Bellevue Club with 21

Drops essential oils. Featured in

the Oprah Magazine, Martha Stewart Living and on The To-day Show, 21 Drops fuses 100

percent natural essential oils with

100 percent organic jojoba oil.

The following oil blends are now

carried in The Spa, and a select

few can be used during treat-

ments (manicures, pedicures,

massage treatments and facials).

HEADACHE (#5): Those who suffer from headaches know exactly how debilitating they can be. Luckily, Headache can help ease your symptoms and get you back to your life. Headache nurtures and relaxes with lavender, cools with peppermint and calms the nervous system with rosewood. It’s never been easier to get relief when you need it most.

DETOX (#4): This essential oil blend is perfect to use after an overindulgent night. Detox flushes unwanted toxins from the body with juniper, dispels nausea with cardamom, soothes nerves with lavender and eases water retention with geranium. Even if you haven’t been drinking, it works as a detox to help you feel rejuvenated all day long.

DE-STRESS (#11): This blend quiets the mind with frankincense, reduces tension and anxiety with German chamomile and laven-der, and helps ease panic attacks with ylang ylang. It is the ideal blend to carry with you to help clear your mind from life’s over-whelming demands and distractions.


INVIGORATE (#1): Invigorate was specially created to help those who need a little pep in their step. The blend includes black pepper to rejuvenate, cedarwood to extend endurance, juniper to energize and rosemary to enhance your mind power. Feeling down and drained? This could just be the perfect remedy.

EQUALIZE (#7): Bring yourself back to center with Equalize. This blend is for when you’re not quite feeling yourself and need a little help stabilizing your fluctuating moods. Equalize balances emotion with frankincense, promotes stability with palmarosa, eases despair and soothes the heart with rose and creates inner harmony with sandalwood.

PAIN RELIEF (#8): Pain Relief is just what the doctor ordered. It doesn’t matter if it’s your joints, muscles or chronic aches, this

blend will help ease your pain and discomfort throughout the day. Pain Relief uses ginger to help with circulation, helichrysum to aid bruised areas, juniper to ease discomfort and myrrh to soothe muscles.

SLEEP (#18): Having trouble falling asleep? Keep Sleep by your bed to help ease your mind and body. A 2013 clinical study with Dr. Mi-chael Christensen and Dr. Sergio Nacht showed that over 90 percent of people using Sleep would experience relief from various sleep problems. Sleep diminishes anxiety with palmarosa, quiets the mind with sandalwood, soothes and increases relaxation with vetiver and encourages peace with ylang ylang.
