It was a true honor to be a special guest supporting friends Dale & Leslie Chihuly at the press conference for the Chihuly Garden and Glass grand opening.

True to artistic form, Dale dedicated the opening with his signature on a column in the atrium that can now be viewed behind plexiglass.

The Garden and Glass exhibit is a MUST SEE!

I was thrilled to host a launch party for 29Cosmetics through RKM Style. Check out the beatifully designed packaging that can sit proudly on your powder room counter top.  
29 redefines cosmetics and skin care for the woman of today. Lydia Mondavi designed 29 around the idea that true natural beauty is not effortless, but comes through dedication, understanding, protecting and nourishing the skin.

When visiting dear friend and Chicago Bear lineman, Chris Spencer & family this fall, I booked at the Chicago Marriott. I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel on the magnificent mile as I had booked with Marriott reward system. The hotel had a creative spin on the public spaces making room for intimate conversation, as well as space for group gatherings, all in a warm, open atmosphere.  

 
Robert Mondavi Label
29cosmetic derived from the beautiful Robert Mondavi estates in Napa Valley. After visiting beautiful Napa Valley and seeing the majestic Mondavi Estates, it came as no surprise that the grape seed is being used in beautifully designed packaging for cosmetic products that can be proudly displayed in spas and powder rooms within your home.
 
I was thrilled to personally  be  apart of the bottling process for  the inguinal, limited edition, Glass Distillery bottles with Ian McNeil & friends preparing for the launch party.
As much fun & interesting as this new vodka is, so is the amazing space that it is produced. An interesting, eclectic mix of recycled and new materials. Stay tuned for a fun, educational video that The BERC Group is currently producing.

Heather Baker gives back to community serving as art docent for a local elementary school. The all school art fair proved to be a safe, fun way to express creativeness through art. 


 
Check out the sand art video that is playing on the screen behind The Story Concert singers, including great friend, hiphop pioneer, Eddy Puyol (Rawsrvnt). It is a great example of artistic blending of film, music, and art. 

Congratulations to our dear friends Bernie Herms and Natalie Grant for their recognition at this year's 43rd Dove Awards!
