Art, Heart + Community

February is a month about connection with the people we love, the places that shape us and the causes that matter most. In each year’s Love Local issue, we also shine a spotlight on our local artists for an issue that’s packed with creativity and heart.

At the center of this issue is a reminder that art connects us. We’re honored to share the story of a band with deep local ties, who travel the country but never forget the West Chester roots of their keyboard player. We also highlight a talented local artist whose favorite canvas is walls—proof that art doesn’t just live in galleries or on stages, but in the everyday stories around us.

February is also American Heart Month, and on page 12 we highlight the vital work of the American Heart Association, underscoring the importance of knowing what to do in a cardiac emergency. This is a lesson I have seen firsthand when, several years ago, my father’s workplace offered free CPR training for employees. He took the class, never imagining he would need to use it. Less than a month later, during his bus commute to work, a man went into cardiac arrest. My dad jumped into action, applying the life-saving techniques he had just learned. When paramedics arrived, they credited my father’s swift response with helping to save the man’s life. That experience stayed with me—and it’s why I now see every CPR or emergency training opportunity as a chance to be prepared—you never know when the knowledge you gain could help save a life.

This issue is our love letter to the community—to the artists who inspire us, the musicians who bring us together and the organizations working tirelessly to protect and strengthen our hearts. We hope these pages remind you why local love matters, not just in February, but all year long.

With love,

HEART WORK

THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION TURNS BYSTANDERS INTO LIFESAVERS

“POLING ENCOURAGES EVERY PERSON TO ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION AT WORK, SCHOOL, CHURCH OR PRACTICE: DO WE HAVE AN AED, AND DO WE KNOW HOW TO USE IT?”

Every year, hundreds of thousands of lives can be saved when ordinary people know how to respond in a cardiac emergency. This is what drives the American Heart Association’s bold goal to double survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest by the year 2030. Through education, research and community action, the organization is empowering everyday bystanders to act when seconds matter most.

As Alyson Poling, American Heart Association Greater Cincinnati Executive Director, explains, survival often depends on the actions taken before first responders arrive.

“Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of fatality,” Poling shares. “About 70 percent of the time you’ll either know who you're saving…or you’ll know the person saving you . The first person on the scene must know how to start, which means to call 911, start chest compressions and get an AED.”

The challenge is that many don’t know cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). And automated external defibrillators (AEDs) aren’t always available.

The Cincinnati area had a wake-up call three years ago. Many didn’t understand the difference between a heart attack, which is caused by a blockage, and cardiac arrest, the sudden stopping of the heart. Then Damar Hamlin collapsed during a Bengals-Bills game and we saw the trauma unfold in real time. Now an American Heart Association national ambassador, Hamlin’s rescue played out on national television and reshaped how people view the issue. CPR searches surged. Questions about AEDs poured into workplaces and schools. The country saw that survival is possible when people know what to do.

To reach the 2030 goal, the American Heart Association is convening hospitals, EMS, community groups and local leaders into one coordinated system, training people at every level.

“Every link in the chain has to get stronger,” Poling stresses, “and that only happens when everyone works together.”

The organization is also ramping up public awareness, reaching gas stations, retailers, race sign-up pages and community hotspots with how-to info. They’ve also successfully lobbied for bystander CPR to be required before Ohio high school graduation.

Like many volunteers, Poling’s passion for improving cardiac arrest outcomes is personal, following the sudden loss of her brother-in-law at age 34 during a hockey game. CPR was slow to start. The AED was locked away.

“His death was preventable,” she says. “His specific condition is now something hospitals test for at birth because of a new American Heart Association policy. That’s why this work matters. We can change outcomes.”

The American Heart Association funds more heart and stroke research than any group besides the National Institutes of Health. Nearly 9 million dollars in research funding is coming to Greater Cincinnati this year alone.

“The science tells us where to invest,” she says, “and the science keeps pointing to women.”

The American Heart Association’s goal is to make AED access + cardiac readiness as standard as fire safety.

Where Technology Meets Perfection

“Together, we are building more than a dental practice; we are creating a legacy of care, innovation, and service, and with my family and my amazing team by my side, I look forward not just to the past 25 years, but to another 50 years of purpose and possibility.”

Women face higher risk for heart disease and stroke, yet their symptoms often get brushed aside. Poling points to Leah’s story, a local new mother who suffered a stroke at home. Her husband spotted the subtle facial droop and acted fast.

“Pregnancy raises risk, and too many women don’t get the care they need after delivery because the focus is on the baby,” she explains.

Stories like Leah’s fuel the American Heart Association's women-centered initiatives like Go Red for Women. Hard Hats with Heart focuses on men, bringing heart-health tools to construction and industrial worksites.

Despite its national presence, the American Heart Association's work is powered by local volunteers. In Greater

Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, only 17 staff members support nearly 50,000 volunteers.

“The size of the volunteer base is what makes this work possible,” Poling says.

Poling urges people to share what they learn and encourages every person to ask a simple question at work, school, church or practice: Do we have an AED, and do we know how to use it?

Reaching the 2030 goal will take a community, but it’s doable. Wear red to support women’s cardiovascular health on February 6, National Wear Red Day.

NEVER STOP BEING CREATIVE

Local Muralist David Uy Leads an Artistic Life that Combines Creativity, Commerce + Community

Hamilton, and enhance many homes and businesses in between. Uy built his artistic career through dedication to the process, being in community with other artists and enthusiastically connecting with businesses and homeowners. Between his day job in real estate and his thriving art business, David Jonathan Creative, he’s no stranger to the hustle it takes to find success as an artist.

“Don’t ever let anyone knock your hustle,” Uy laughs. “Keep going even if you’re feeling down or aren’t feeling creative every day.”

Uy’s interest in art began around third grade when he spent time doodling and drawing with his friends. He’s grateful for receiving early encouragement and inspiration from his dad (who was excellent at copying Disney characters), art teachers and Aunt Bonnie. It was Aunt Bonnie’s projects and support that led to his first mural jobs at multiple CrossFit gyms and a Jewish community center.

“My parents were so open to me doing my thing, knowing that I would turn out alright,” shares Uy. “My Aunt Bonnie had me do art projects for her for free, which all along were setting me up for success with future work.”

When Uy found skateboarding in junior high, he was introduced to street art. He soon became a fullblown graffiti artist, alongside painting, sculpture and graphic design classes in high school. He was drawn to graphic design because of its balance of art with commerce. He went on to attend Sinclair Community College, where he studied visual communication. All the while, he continued to do graffiti, which ultimately led to his first job in graphic design.

“The whole reason I got my job in graphic design was that the senior designer at the firm came to our portfolio show where he saw my graffiti work and was obsessed with it,” Uy relates.

He didn’t enjoy working at a desk all day and decided to pivot to real estate, allowing more flexibility to continue working toward his art goals.

“I realized that painting murals scratches that itch for graffiti art, but I could get paid for it,” Uy explains.

He completed small mural jobs here and there while working in real estate, but he envisioned a future where he could paint murals full-time. He founded David

“Never stop being creative. Don’t let another job stop you from being your creative self.”

Jonathan Creative in 2014, and in 2021, he registered as an LLC. While murals are his focus, he also enjoys fine art painting in his spare time and sells pieces through his website and gallery exhibitions.

“Even though I never stopped doing art, I also never thought I would paint 25 murals in one year and not have to sell as much real estate because I was able to paint so much. I want to be humble, but I also want to stay motivated to do even more than I’ve already done,” Uy shares.

His medium shifted from graffiti to mural painting, but the lessons in work ethic, volume and quality remain. He’s also

learned that staying connected to other artists often leads to more opportunities. He swaps advice, inspiration and regularly collaborates on projects with local artists Brian Beck and Brent Billingsley.

Uy’s advice to other up-and-coming artists?

“Never stop being creative,” he says. “Don’t let another job stop you from being your creative self. Make sure you do something every day that gives you a creative outlet because that compounds over time, providing a body of work to come back to.”

CHOCOLATE and WINE

The Key to a Successful Wine and Chocolate Pairing Lies in Finding the Right Combination of Flavors and Characteristics.

Pairing wine and chocolate together can be a delightful sensory experience that can elevate the flavors of both. While the concept of pairing wine with food is well-known, pairing it with chocolate may seem unconventional at first. However, when done correctly, it can create a harmonious balance where the flavors of the wine and chocolate complement and enhance one another.

Wine and chocolate have a lot of similarities to each other. Both contain flavanols (antioxidants) and polyphenols (compounds found in plant-based food) that are good for you and have anti-inflammatory properties. These characteristics affect flavor so it’s somewhat challenging to pair wine and chocolate together. The more polyphenols, the more pronounced the bitter taste.

For example, if you sip a delicious dry red wine alongside a hunk of dark chocolate, the wine will start to taste bitter and sour. The taste imbalance is coming from the heightened levels of flavanols (different types of tannin) found in both chocolate and wine that end up clashing against each other on your tongue.

While it might sound counterintuitive, a good rule of thumb is to pair a wine that is “sweeter” than the chocolate itself. “Sweet” doesn’t refer to dessert wines alone. In the wine world, the term “sweet” is often used to denote ripe, fruit-forward flavors in a wine. These characteristics provide a nice balance to the bitter flavors of cocoa.

Both wine and chocolate can have intense, dry flavors. In order to find the right balance, it’s best to choose wines that are a little bit softer and juicier than the chocolate you’re pairing it with.

We’ve done the footwork to find several wines that partner well with chocolate. Here are our guidelines for matching chocolate with wine and a few of our favorite wine and chocolate pairings. We hope you’ll try them and then get inspired to experiment and create your own.

TIP 1: MATCH SUGAR WITH SUGAR

When it comes to pairing chocolate and wine, you don’t want to strike a balance, you want to match sugar to sugar. Sweeter chocolate like white chocolate does better when consumed with sweeter wines and bitter chocolate like dark chocolate enjoys being paired with dryer wines. Think of it as matching sugar with sugar. A good rule of thumb is to always pair wines that are equally or slightly more sweet than the chocolate being eaten with it.

TIP 2: MATCH INTENSITY WITH INTENSITY

If you pair an incredibly delicately flavored dark chocolate with a full-bodied, heavy red, the intensity of the wine will destroy any of the subtlety that might have been present in the chocolate. The opposite is also true: strong-tasting chocolate will blow a delicate wine out of the water. Keep this rule of thumb in mind: light-flavored chocolates enjoy being paired with light-bodied wines and intensely flavored chocolates prefer being paired with full-bodied wines.

TIP 3: PAIR FLAVORS WITH FLAVORS

Wine and chocolate both carry their own intense flavors. If the chocolate contains other ingredients such as nuts, fruit, or caramel, consider how these flavors will play with the wine. This is especially helpful to remember when enjoying truffles with wine. To avoid creating a palate power play between the two, do your best to match fruity or floral chocolates with fruity wines like Moscato or White Zinfandel. Enjoy chocolate-covered nuts alongside a nutty wine like a Madeira or Marsala. Chocolate studded with dried cranberries might pair well with a fruit-forward red with berry undertones.

CREATING THE PERFECT PAIR

DARK CHOCOLATE

Bitter to semi-sweet dark chocolates, that are 50 to 100% cacao, have intense, bitter flavors, and earthy to fruity undertones. Match the intensity without adding more dryness by pairing these chocolates with full-bodied, yet fruit-forward wines.

Pairs well with:

Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Port, Merlot, Shiraz, Barolo

MILK CHOCOLATE

Milk chocolate is typically creamier and sweeter with flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and cream. It requires a wine that is light to medium in body, with a ripe fruit character.

Pairs well with:

Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sweet Riesling, Ice-Style Wine

WHITE CHOCOLATE

White chocolate has a sweet, buttery flavor with notes of cream and honey. Sweet white and rosè wines help cleanse the palate of the rich flavors from white chocolate, as does sparkling spumante like Moscato d’Asti.

Pairs well with:

Sweet Riesling, Moscato, Semi-Dry Sparkling Whites, Gewurztraminer

LAK OTA EAST ALUMNUS DANNY BAUER

SIN GS A SUCCESSFUL TUNE WITH FUNK-JAM BAND SNEEZY

FEED THE FUNK

Chicago funk-jam party band Sneezy is quickly making a name for themselves as one of the Midwest’s most promising live music acts, and their kaleidoscopic sounds and energetic performances are propelled in no small part by Lakota East alumnus Danny Bauer.

“We performed at eighteen festivals this year, all over the country,” Danny says, including stops in Rhode Island, Florida, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina and South Carolina; the busy group even enjoyed a spot on the lineup for a Jam Cruise juggernaut, which traveled all the way to Cozumel, Mexico.

Thankfully, an upbringing centered around the arts helped prepare Danny for the adventurous world he now enjoys. Danny’s mother, Susan (Eckart) Bauer, taught general music and choir since 1986, including  general music at Lakota’s Hopewell Elementary from 1999-2014 and choir at Lakota West from 2014-2020. She currently serves as rehearsal pianist and pit accompanist for Lakota West musicals. Danny’s dad, Mark Bauer, also a Lakota teacher, played guitar in Eastside Jazz, and currently plays guitar in his own band, AM Gold.

It wasn’t long until Danny began taking formal piano lessons as a child, picking up familiar video game themes on his own.

“I was learning Zelda and Mario songs by ear,” he says. “That got me really excited.”

By seventh grade, he and some buddies formed a punk trio called Sharp As Marbles. Experience in his school’s traditional and jazz bands—as well as another band with friends, called Skaboom—rounded out that period of his life. After high school, however, Danny set his sights on bigger stages and brighter lights.

After moving to Chicago, he found himself “throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what stuck,” he says with a laugh. “I was playing a lot of weddings … I was making a whole bunch of YouTube videos. I was putting together bands that were playing some shows, but there wasn't a lot of passion behind it. I was doing comedy. I was going to the park to make up songs for people, just trying a lot of different things and truly being uncertain the whole way.”

In August of 2024, however, the already-established band Sneezy was in need of a new keyboard player.

“I kind of joke that I fell out of the sky and landed in Sneezy's lap,” Danny says. “It was magic.”

He explains that, although Sneezy takes their music seriously, it's also, as he describes, “like a circus for kindergartners.”

That jubilant party atmosphere is apparent at each and every gig—and, if you ask Danny, it’s key to their success.

“Oh, man, we're making it to arenas,” he enthusiastically shares. “One of my favorite stories of this year was when we did the Rhythm and Roots Festival in Rhode Island. We left on

Thursday, drove all day, drove all day Friday and then Saturday, we played the festival 1 to 2 p.m. for about 2,000 people, and then drove the rest of the night Saturday and all day Sunday to get back home. We drove for literally 30 hours to play for one hour.

“But in that one hour, we played for 2,000 new people and made 2,000 new fans, and I think one reason this band is going to make it is because we're crazy enough to do that,” he says. “The shows have just been getting bigger and bigger, and next year we're already on the schedule for some big festivals.

“We’re ready to go to the top!” says Danny.

GETTING SNEEZY
