Living and Loving This Moment

February 2022 PUBLISHER

February is a month of transitions. The weather? Here in The Woodlands the azaleas could already be in full bloom, or we could experience the last blast of winter just when we least expect it. (Though hopefully never again the likes of 2021’s Winter Storm Uri!) It’s also a time when sunshine hours are still in short supply, and I start counting the weeks until we return to daylight saving time. I can't wait for those late sunsets that take us ever-sogently into nighttime! So, a little romance and a lot of heart are timely ingredients this month. What are the things that make life brighter and help us reach outside of our daily cares? Appreciating art, in all its different forms, is one way to gain insight into what is real and lasting. In this issue you’ll find reflections on what art can do to make a difference in our lives and in our community, as well as special ways to focus on the people and things you cherish. Opportunities to experience beauty and to create lasting memories do not often just happen. We have to seek them out. February is a time to be intentional about bringing the people you love together for events and activities that are meant to create bonds and to inspire. There is so much to savor right here in our community! Find those things, take part, and don’t forget to share your experiences with us!

THE ALLURE OF MODERN DWELLINGS A NEW ANTHOLOGY TAKES A LOOK AT THE AWE-INSPIRING MODERN HOMES OF TEXAS ARTICLE BY LAURA GREEN | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

“A home is not just a house, it’s an embodiment of the people who dwell within it—an extension of their personalities and expressive of their passions. It provides engagement with its surroundings and an intuitive sense of belonging. Good modern homes do this in recognizable ways. Great modern homes also do this in unexpected ways,” explains Jolie Carpenter Berry in the forward to the recently released book, Spectacular Modern Homes of Texas, from Signature Boutique Books, a Texas-based publisher specializing in large format art books.

The anthology is filled with amazing photography as well as the story behind the scenes of some of the most awe-inspiring modern homes throughout the state. A section of the book is devoted to the stylish, abodes of Houston (including the one pictured here) and The Woodlands, while others are devoted to homes in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and the Hill Country/West Texas. A large format, coffee-table-worthy book that’s just as handsome as it is entertaining to read, Jolie, Founder of Signature Boutique Books, says the book provides readers with a detailed and exciting look at the work of some of the best architects and home designers in the country. Foundational to the design of all of these residences are the clean lines, expansive windows, and melding of interior and exterior spaces, which are hallmarks of modern home architecture. Above all, says Jolie, the personalities of these dream homes, and those who live in them, shine through. (Photos provided by Signature Boutique Books.)

life is a festival OUR COVER ARTIST: GUILLOUME CELEBRATES ABUNDANCE AND OUR COMMON BONDS ARTICLE BY LAURA GREEN | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY ARTIST GUILLOME

Anticipation is growing among local art lovers as this year’s Fidelity Investments The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival draws near. Consistently ranked as one of the area’s most popular events, the festival is also recognized nationally as a premier celebration of art and artists. “I love the festival. You in The Woodlands are very unique in holding festivities that bring it all together—community, music and art,” says featured artist Guilloume. “The festival is unique. It belongs to everyone. When they called me for 2022, I was very honored.” The Columbian-born minimalist artist has created his own unique style which he calls “Bolismo,” a technique that makes use of simple, rounded shapes, along with texture and color, to convey the human form, emotions and relationships. Eighty-five percent of everything that exists in the universe is circular in shape, explains Guilloume. “I’ve spent 42 years playing with circles. They symbolize unification and completeness.” He quotes the Hindu adage, that “What goes around comes around.” What you give is what you receive, he says. Guilloume works in a variety of mediums, from oils and ink to bronze and steel. An arresting characteristic of his human figures is that they have no facial features. “I like to emphasize what we have

in common, not our differences. We are unique, yet we have so much in common. We should embrace those similarities.” Festival-goers can enjoy Guilloume’s work, along with original art from over 200 other talented regional, national and international artists, in a variety of mediums and styles, says Jenny Carattini-Wright, executive director of The Woodlands Arts Council, which organizes the annual event. There is something for everyone at the Waterway Arts Festival, says Jenny. The theme of this year’s festival is abundance, explains Jenny, an appreciation for all The Woodlands has to offer its residents in the way of art. She says the inspiration for the theme is Guilloume’s featured piece, “Celebrating Abundance.” Guilloume says the piece is meant to express that “We can all celebrate what we have in common, our abundance and our abiding prosperity.” The process of choosing the festival’s featured artist is intensely competitive, says Jenny. It starts in the fall, many months before the festival takes place. Artists are invited to apply, and a panel of judges consisting of gallery owners, art teachers and business professionals review the art and interview the artists, resulting in a “best-ofshow” group of finalists. From this group, the featured artist for the festival is chosen. Each year, the featured artist donates a piece of art to be auctioned off at the annual CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/TH E WO O D L A N D S

Art Dash Party, which will take place this April 8th at 6 p.m. at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center. Guillome’s piece, “Celebrating Abundance,” is a striking 72-by 48-inch oil on aluminum triptych, consisting of three panels. Jenny says that during the judging, as everyone viewed Guilloume’s artwork, “We all were all struck by his talent and the beautiful messages his work conveyed.” For Guilloume, the reaction is what makes his work so worthwhile–the ability to make an emotional impact through art is a powerful way to bring people together. “When we notice what we have in life rather than what is missing, we begin feeling gratitude,” says Guilloume. “We should express our unity with each other, and I do that through art.”

The Ceramic Coating Process at Euroluxe Creates Traffic-Stopping Results

There’s nothing like receiving a nod of approval from the driver in the lane next to you. Caleb Vasquez of Euroluxe Detailing knows how to make those head-turning moments a reality for his clients. Vasquez says the ceramic coating process at Euroluxe creates a deep gloss finish, better than the day you brought your car home from the showroom, while also protecting the paint for years to come. 22

W H AT E X AC T LY I S C E R A M I C C OAT I N G ?

Euroluxe uses chemical polymers in liquid form that are professionally applied to a vehicle’s paint. The result is a crystal layer over the clear coat of your paint that adds depth and resists scratching at a 9H hardness rating, the hardest finish there is. It preserves the paint like nothing else, making it easier to maintain the look of your car over time. L E F T: CERAMIC COATING ADDS DEPTH AND RICHNESS, WHILE ALSO OFFERING OUTSTANDING PROTECTION.

I HAVE MY CAR WA SHE D AND WA XE D REGUL ARLY. ISN’T THAT E NOUGH?

Look closely, and you may be shocked to see swirl marks and water spots on the surface of your paint due to improper washing. Then factor in micro-scratches, chips, road grit, the scorching summer sun, and the stains caused by bird droppings and bug guts--two of the worst enemies of paint due to their acidity. It’s nearly impossible to protect your car from all of these things on your own.

We can combine our ceramic coating service with paint correction and a full detailing to get back up to 95% of your original new-car look. No matter the age of the car, we help our clients protect their investment while also getting them the attention they deserve for their beautifully maintained vehicle.

OUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH BRUNCH CARY ATTAR ON WHY THE DAYTIME WEEKEND REPAST IS BOOMING IN POPULARITY

LOCA LLY SOU R CE D | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

What explains the runaway popularity of brunch? Is it the morning sunshine? Or the miracle of getting an extended group of friends and family to commit to showing up for a meal? Or the not insignificant pleasure of ordering a morning cocktail in a setting where it’s entirely acceptable, nay, almost expected? Restauranteur Cary Attar believes the “come as you are,” open-ended nature of a daytime weekend repast is the reason brunch has become such a hit. “People can linger because it’s a Saturday or Sunday. There’s no pressure, fewer places they have to be.” The origin story for brunch is uncertain, but many food historians trace its inception to 17th-century England and the elaborate

It's the open-ended nature of brunch that makes it such a hit, says Fielding's owner Cary Attar..

CARY AT TAR

breakfast spreads enjoyed after a morning of fox hunting. The term “brunch” first appeared in 1895 in the publication Hunter’s Weekly as part of an ode to the meal that could have been penned today: Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week. Whatever its roots, the current desire to partake of brunch is evidenced by the lines winding out the doors of the very best spots for brunching. Two of these are Attar’s Fielding’s Local Kitchen and Bar and Fielding’s Wood Grill. Attar says both restaurants added brunch to their menus in 2016, offering the classics that people expect alongside dishes that elevate the concept and reflect influences from Mediterranean, Latin American, South African, and other cuisines—all developed with the inspired creativity of Paris-trained Executive Chef Edelberto Gonçalvez. “The success of our concepts could not happen without Chef Edelberto,” says Attar. Scan the tables at Fielding’s Local, and you’ll see patrons savoring fried chicken and waffles with “ivory” bbq sauce, and fluffy omelets filled with fresh crab and avocado, as they sip on house roasted coffee and fresh-pressed juice blends made from a rainbow cacophony of fruits and veggies. Guests can order a flight of bloody marys or mimosas to sample; or, try the St. Theresa spritz, made with house limoncello, lemonade and sparkling wine. Attar says brunch guests at Wood Grill have taken a shine to the Kir Royale, a classic French apéritif consisting of the black currant liqueur crème de cassis topped with bubbly. Restaurants can only thrive if they evolve along with the tastes and desires of the public, says Attar. Our love affair with brunch may reflect hope in the future, an anticipation of new possibilities. Which is especially fitting for 2022—a bright new day, as sunny as the egg on your plate.

When Barbara Gebert and her husband Don made The Village at The Woodlands Waterway their home ten years ago, they were the community’s very first residents. “The residences are beautiful. It felt like home for Don and I,” recalls Barbara.

A Community’s First Resident Shares an Ongoing Legacy of Love Laura L. Green

Don, who was founder of Interfaith Ministries in The Woodlands, passed away in 2021. The couple, who would have celebrated 70 years of marriage this year, met as teenagers. “He told his friends he was going to marry me the night he met me at a dance,” says Barbara. He was a nice, handsome gentleman, but she thought of him at the time as just a dance partner. Her sights were set on marrying a minister someday. Don was persistent, however, and in June 1951 the two were married, after which Don entered seminary school. Barbara and Don made a great team and loved working in the ministry, traveling, and meeting new people. They were living in Pennsylvania in 1975 when Don was hired by the non-profit The Woodlands Religious Community to bring social infrastructure and ministry resources to The Woodlands. The organization would later become known as Interfaith of The Woodlands. Barbara treasures the memory of those times as well as the joys of being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. When she and Don moved to The Village, Don became the community’s first chaplain. Now, Barbara continues the couple’s legacy of friendship and support. “I love playing bridge every week and eating dinner with new residents, and learning about their lives. I loved spending my life with Don, serving God and the people around us. I miss Don, but I am doing just fine.”

GROWING A LEGACY OF PUBLIC ART ARTICLE BY ALISON KARTEVOLD PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS SPICKS

Public art is an integral part of The Woodlands identity by design, and the legacy left by its founding couple continues to thrive. “You know when you are in The Woodlands, and you know when you’re not,” says Jim Carman, President of the Houston Region at Howard Hughes. “It’s due to a number of factors, public art being one of those.” In 2022, Howard Hughes is unveiling two new art installations. The first is described as a significant mural for display in the Town Center. The second debut is planned at Hughes Landing later this summer. An international artist will use light and sound to create an interactive work expected to be a regional draw.

“I am very, very excited about these pieces,” says Carman. “I think, they are going to take our public art to the next level.” That is no small boast because The Woodlands already has one of the most extensive public art collections for a community its size anywhere in the country. Something that didn’t happen by chance. In 1964, entrepreneur George Mitchell purchased 50,000 acres of timbered land. With it, he and his wife, Cynthia Woods Mitchell, began a decades-long journey that blazed a trail for others to follow. “The Woodlands was one of the first true master-planned communities,” says Jim Carman. “It had the size and scale to truly create a new town.”

"...The Woodlands already has one of the most extensive public art collections for a city its size anywhere in the country. Something that didn’t happen by chance."

The Mitchells envisioned elevating this original town by including original art that all could enjoy. To make their concept viable, in 1973, Mr. Mitchell established a mandatory art fund supported by a percentage of commercial construction costs and land sales. The Woodlands Development Corp. continued contributions after buying The Woodlands from Mr. Mitchell in 1997. And now Howard Hughes, the current development engine driving The Woodlands, is doing the same. “It’s inspiring, it’s an honor, and it’s a lot of pressure,” Carman says. “But good pressure, it’s an opportunity to truly make an impact on a community.” CONTINUED >

Niche.com listed The Woodlands number one on its “2021 Best Cities to Live in America” list, and Carman believes that while it takes many components to get a ranking like that, public art is one of those components. Besides the art fund, further foresight led the Mitchells to set up The Woodlands Art Council that supports and promotes the visual and performing arts in partnership with The Woodlands Township. From The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival to the commissioning of art benches, and starting this year, the new installation of art bike racks, the council aims to bring color, imagination, and vibrancy to the community’s green spaces. From its villages, business centers, lakes, and waterways to the pathways and roads that connect it all through wooded settings, the Mitchells’ edict was to weave public art into The Woodlands’ very DNA. Nickole Kerner Bobley believes the plan succeeded. “There is an energy coursing through the community about public art that you don’t find anywhere else,” says the former arts columnist and creator of ARTFEEL. She thinks public art strengthens the community and can improve people’s lives. “Public art softens the hard lines of our built spaces,” Kerner Bobley says, “It transports people through their memories, or it stimulates new thoughts and inspires new ideas.” The current 56 outdoor sculptures, 24 art benches, and more than 20 mosaics serve as adorning gems to The Woodlands artistic crown, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. This outdoor space for the arts came about after Mrs. Mitchell viewed a ballet in an Austin park in the mid-70s and dreamt of creating something similar.

The Commemorative Tribute to Cynthia Woods Mitchell, located at the north entrance of the Pavilion

Art was crucial to Cynthia Mitchell, says Cameron Klepac, Director of Marketing and Education for the Pavilion. “That was really Mrs. Mitchell’s goal. She wanted the community to have a heart.” The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is now a worldclass amphitheater with 6,000 covered seats and room for about 10,000 lawn guests. In addition, there is a 21,000 square-foot event center and a first-class club. According to Pollstar magazine, the concert industry’s leading trade publication, when compared against the world’s top 100 amphitheaters, The Pavilion is fourth, based on the number of tickets sold in 2021. The Pavilion is routinely in the top five, but Klepac says it never gets old. “To think about her dream and how big it has become, I think that is a testament to the Mitchells and what they did with their dreams.” The Mitchells committed both their time and money to turn their dreams into reality. The original $10 million to build The Pavillion came from The Woodlands Corporation, which Mr. Mitchell owned. In addition, the Mitchells personally donated a reported $5 million to

the Houston Symphony to make The Pavilion its summer home. Similarly, they made donations to the Houston Ballet and Houston Grand Opera to ensure they too would perform in The Woodlands. “They were very philanthropic people,” Klepac says. “The reason why we have the relationships we do – is because of them.” As for what’s needed to push The Woodlands Arts Program to even higher heights, Carman would like to see The Woodlands Township Board of Directors expand upon Cynthia Mitchell’s dream of having a dedicated Performance Art Center. According to Carman, the township has considered two sites: one in Town Center near The Pavilion and another where it purchased land at Grogan’s Mill Road and Lake Woodlands Drive. “They have the funds available to build it and the support of the community,” says Carman. “We are hopeful that the township will prioritize it, and we are here to help however we can.”

the art of giving ART IS FOR ALL AT SPECIAL FRIENDS

ARTICLE BY MELISSA D’MELLO | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

George at a Special Friends art class

Adults with disabilities, are often limited in their interactions, with few avenues to socialize and express themselves. To address this growing need in the local area, the art group Special Friends was started five years ago to provide a supportive environment for disabled adults to come together to learn and participate in creative activities. Special Friends hosts free art classes on the first Saturday of every month at the Candy Cane Park Activity Center in Conroe, where volunteers like local artist Suzanne Seiler design and lead the classes, which work primarily with acrylics. Kari Schmidt, one of the founding members and a volunteer with the group shared, “What we do for our Special Friends is a ministry. They are God’s Angels and teach us so much about life. They are the ones that are normal.” Each class typically lasts three hours and is comprised of adults whose ages span from 20 to 65, some of whom are nonverbal, deaf, and on the autism spectrum. At Special Friends, students receive one-on-one attention to help them complete the artwork, so that they feel accomplished at the end of each session. While some of the students come from local nonprofit

organizations, others who attend the monthly classes are from Cypress and Galveston. Kari noted that the classes have had an immense impact both on the volunteers and students, who are exceeding boundaries and achieving things which surpass what is expected of them. The classes have helped the volunteers gain more patience and compassion. While, for the special needs adults, the classes have helped build confidence and communication skills. She shared the recent example of a nonverbal student who repeatedly exclaimed, “Enjoyed it!” after working on a painting. As an additional way to support the students, art created during the classes is shown at local events and displayed at restaurants. If an art piece is purchased, a portion is given back to the artists and the rest goes towards supplies to keep the classes going. The Special Friends group has chosen not to opt for a nonprofit status so that funds earned by the artists do not conflict with any benefits they might already receive. If you are interested in volunteering or know someone who might benefit from the art classes that Special Friends offers, contact Kari Schmidt at kari@cornerstoneframing.com.

IS SO EASY TO LOVE

THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT THE MOST ARTISTIC BAR IN THE WOODLANDS ARTICLE BY LAURA GREEN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS SPICKS

M UST SE E | FOOD + BEV E RAGE

It’s fitting that the building which started out as a welcome center for new residents of The Woodlands is now welcoming guests to come in and enjoy the most artistic cocktail bar in town. The building has been the home of Glade Arts Foundation (The Glade) since 2018, which houses permanent and rotating art exhibits and is a thriving venue for weekly live entertainment. With the addition of the Mercury Lounge, the center has become a destination experience for Woodlanders looking for a relaxed yet sophisticated night out. Here to meet friends for a drink after work? Take a seat at the sleek bar, at one of the high-tops, or on a comfy sofa. Looking for a place to decompress? Carry your drink to the patio and gaze at the serene lake with a gently spraying fountain and the trees filled with twinkling lights. Want to take in the new art exhibit? Meander through the galleries at your leisure, cocktail-in-hand. Here for the night’s live performance? Right this way, your table is waiting. Some people observe that the one thing The Woodlands lacks is an intimate venue offering both fabulous cocktails and top-notch performances, a place to recharge in style. But they haven’t yet experienced the Mercury Lounge at The Glade, says the bar’s owner, Iain MacDonald. He calculates that about 85% of the people who visit are “first-timers.” “’Wow, we didn’t know this existed,’ they say. Once they come here, they’re hooked!” The idea for adding a full-service bar came about through MacDonald’s friendship with Glade’s founder and cultural director, Dragos Tapu, which started several years ago when MacDonald bought a painting at The Glade. After MacDonald retired from a career in the oilfield, he and Tapu explored the idea of opening a new bar somewhere in The Woodlands. It should be a space large enough for live performances and art exhibits, they decided. But the more they looked for the right location, the more apparent it became that the bar should be inside The Glade itself. So in July 2021, the Mercury Lounge made its debut and is now open Tuesday through Saturday, from noon until, with happy hour from 3 to 7 p.m. The wine list is curated by MacDonald and Tapu, with many interesting Old and New World selections, and the bar has become a hot spot for holding tasting events for wine, Scotch, Champagne, and more. (The makers of Mezcal Local selected the Mercury as the site of their launch party this month.) “We are an art gallery, an event venue, and a bar,” says MacDonald. “Where else in The Woodlands can you listen to live jazz, attend a monthly murder mystery theater dinner performance, see a comedian, meet someone for a drink, conduct a business meeting, or enjoy appetizers and wine as you take in a collection of original art—all in the same space?”

TO P : Guests can enjoy a cocktail, stroll the gallery, and enjoy a full calendar of weekly entertainment. B OT TO M : The Mercury Lounge is located inside the Glade Arts Foundation.

The Healing Art Program means inner world awareness, self-expression beyond words, a shared sense of community, and a place to find peace and self-acceptance. This program allows cancer survivors to depict their stories about battling cancer through an art project, which is an extension of themselves. This is priceless because without “words,” artworks express the poignant life lessons about what cancer has represented in survivors’ lives. Witnessing the personal transformation of those who have gone through this program is something that fulfills my soul and reinforces my life’s mission.
