Artists & Makers I REMEMBER THE MOMENT I LEARNED THE VISUAL ARTS WERE NOT FOR ME. I had sculpted a ceramic king penguin I planned to gift to my mother. In my head, I saw a stunningly majestic pose with wings back, chest out and head tilted to the sky. When the pieces returned from the blast furnace, my substitute 4th grade teacher called each student to the front to collect their “darling” replicas of dogs, ponies, dragons, cups, etc. Then she grabbed mine and said, “What the hell is this?”

And that is why I so appreciate the artistic talents of others. In this issue, you will read about local artists in our community and their stories of passion and self-expression. Elec Simon has a world-class musical gift that he uses to entertain, educate, and inspire. Lori Weaver combined her talent for craft-making and natural business acumen to offer a unique marketplace for other artists like herself. And Tracy Spyker turned a cookie-making hobby into a yearround expression of happiness. You’ll find another kind of artistry in this month’s Open House feature of a Kitchen

LOCALLY OWNED (CONTINUED)

As of this writing, Blended features the works of 30 different Northeast Ohio artisans and specialty crafters. These include Sworks, who intricately crafts shadow boxes and other unique pieces; NOSH Butters – makers of craft nut and seed butters; and Stampin Stitchin for hand-stamped inspirational jewelry, among other vendors. Patrons can even sample products from Buckeye Blends, Balsamic Vinegars + Olive Oils at the full Fusti Bar at the center of the store. Some makers are specifically curated by the Weavers while others approach them directly. All are welcome members of the Blended family. Together they create a charming space that offers customers distinctive pieces every day. Weaver emphasizes that Blended is here to serve the community. She encourages people to stop by and see what’s on display, adding that many have fallen in love with the makers’ market concept. Local patronage is what keeps small businesses alive, and Lori and Kevin plan to open another location in 2021 to help further support their artisans’ own small businesses.

HOMETOWN HERO (CONTINUED)

Simon is not one to shy away from the stage. In fact, he knew early on he wanted to perform, having watched his mother stage manage huge gospel concerts and other events. He’s even embraced the spotlight as a corporate event emcee, most notably at Unfair Advantage Live in NYC and The Summit Of Greatness in Columbus. Last summer, he felt called to step out on an unfamiliar stage. This time, in protest. Following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, Simon marched with the crowd and spoke at the downtown Canton protests. Not far from his current residence overlooking the city, Simon – alongside friend Dallas Harper – contended ‘a world that was trying to preach hate’ and advocated against violence and looting. “May 29 changed my life. It was the worst week ever, but I’m glad it happened,” insisted Simon. “Some people called me a sellout because I didn’t want to burn the city down or because I said ‘not all cops are bad.’ I lost a lot of associates because of the way I responded that day, and I’m glad I did.”

Simon feels nervous every time he hops in his Jeep, and says bad cops do need to be held accountable. Still, he wants people to quit labeling them all the same. He also wants to set a positive example for the kids watching him. “We have to come together and do this another way,” said Simon. “People hated hearing that from a black man.” Perhaps that experience inspired Simon to write and record

His drive and passion comes from helping other people have a better life. “The year 2020 taught me to keep going and stay away from negative people,” said Simon, as he pointed out his many tattoos with affirming words and phrases: never give up, blessed, stay focused, believe, unbroken. “I work hard so I can help other people … that’s what brings me joy.”

Despite the challenges of running a home bakery, Spyker says working out of her own house is an enjoyable experience overall. Having total control over her hours and working space means that she gets to decide what time is best to do her baking – whether that’s 5 am to 11 pm. That flexibility is invaluable. It also allows her to put every last inch of counter space to good use fulfilling every request she receives. Still, with continued business growth year after year, Spyker admits she’d love to secure a storefront in the near future to expand the operation even further. And, she urges the public to shop local and support small business owners. “We care about our customers and know their stories,” said Spyker. “Most importantly, we contribute to the local economy and give back to the community.” Spyker enjoys giving customers a personal experience. Hearing how her cookies and cakes improved someone’s day or event is what makes her the most passionate about what she does.

OPEN HOUSE

D R A M ATI C K ITC H E N

M A K EOVE R SAY GOODBYE TO THE 90S IF YOU BUILT YOUR HOME IN THE 1990S (OR BEFORE), IT’S NOT UNCOMMON TO WANT TO UPDATE ITS LOOK. Some might even want to scrap the whole thing and start over, which is what Josette Kark of JK Design encountered with the owners of a 90s-era home in Alliance, Ohio. They had grown tired of the dated look of the home and asked Josette to redesign the entirety of its interior. She began the whole-house project with the kitchen and ARTICLE DARYL DIRHAM PHOTOGRAPHY DAN KARIPIDES

a nearby bathroom. The homeowners love to entertain and find that their guests always end up in the kitchen. Josette completely reimagined the space to open it up, create zones for socializing and in the process, moved both plumbing and electrical to maximize the space.

28

Canton Lifestyle | February 2021


One of the most striking aspects of the redesign is the Dekton® quartz countertop in gray tones with shades of burnt umber. “Everyone who’s seen it is crazy about that piece,” said Kark. With the new island in the center, the sink was relocated to the back wall. Kark seized an opportunity to create a feature wall above the new sink. “We installed handmade tile in shades of bronze with gold accents running through it. By adding the floating shelves lit from below, it creates additional interest that draws your eye to that space.” The sink area is finished off with a black faucet from Delta’s Litze collection accented in champagne gold. She moved the refrigerator a few feet to the left, which allowed her to flank the new sink and feature wall with matching double pantries on both sides. Above the new espresso station on the end of the kitchen, Kark added French-style eglomise mirrors on the cabinet doors as an accent. The opposite end of the kitchen sits beneath a turret where there used to be a dinette table. The new, extra-long island now extends into this area, so Josette added a hanging light to accentuate the turret without taking up floor space.

CityLifestyle.com/Canton

OPEN HOUSE (CONTINUED)

Another dramatic change was the addition of updated 42-inch upper cabinetry. “We removed the soffits to allow for the greater height,” said Kark. The taller cabinets aid in the updated look, as shorter cabinets in the 30- to 36-inch range are typically standard in older homes. The larger cabinets can also accommodate elongated, 10-inch door handles instead of old-style knobs. Kark took a different approach to the kitchen backsplash, as well. Behind the stove, she interrupted it to run more of the quartz countertop material up the wall. The new stovetop hood is concealed in a faux cabinet above. For the walls, Kark replaced the dated green wallpaper with a sophisticated finish hand-painted by Paul Perduke, a painter with a long association with JK Design. “Paul has done all the walls in my own home,” said Kark. The bathroom near the kitchen underwent a dramatic redesign as well, with a hand-stenciled wall treatment by Perduke, a bold sculpture from the JK Design showroom, and a vanity by Ambella Home. The space is capped off by a chandelier from Fine Art.
