A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER W
e believe in beauty in all its forms. Practical beauty. Absurd beauty. Sweet beauty. All of it. Our philosophy is about actively looking for the beauty and magic in everything and everyone around us, and we’ve found that it’s as ubiquitous as the very air we breathe. Bringing you the beauty and magic we find, whether it’s a perfectly hand-rolled cigar or a wonderfully complex small-batch bourbon, is our mission. It may surprise you that both of these delicacies are made by artisans in Oklahoma. You’ll meet the great minds behind Ultimo Cigars and Hochatown Distilling Company on pages 22 and 17, and we hope you’re inspired to enjoy one or both in front of a roaring fireplace as soon as you are able. Have you ever gifted yourself or someone you love a bespoke garment? What a top-notch gift that would be. Made-to-measure clothing is a luxury known to a relatively small number among us. However, if we’ve got any say in the matter, you’ll all become lovers of custom, personalized clothing—specifically the suits and blazers crafted by Lauren Warkentine, whose atelier William & Lauren now occupies the ground-floor suite at 701 Hudson, the gorgeous building imagined by Brent Swift, Jeremy Gardner and Lingo Construction at the corner of NW 7th and Hudson Ave in Oklahoma City. See page 43. You can thank us later. Did you realize that a pair of Michael Jordan’s basketball shoes fetched more than a million dollars at auction? And that sneakers are one of the most collectible items around, with self-proclaimed “Sneakerheads” paying hundreds if not thousands for rare pairs? Writer Michael Kinney takes us on a journey through this fascinating subculture on page 48. You may be surprised to learn who some of Oklahoma’s most prolific collectors are. Certainly this is an indulgent time of year, and the fact that we can gather together more safely now than in recent memory makes this holiday season feel extra exciting. When you’ve had your
8 LUXI E R E
quota of razzle-dazzle, though, you may decide a quick escape is the exact recharge you need. Real estate legend Mo Anderson, co-owner and vice chair for Keller Williams Realty, Inc., and her husband Richard have created just such a respite in their pretty little hometown of Waukomis, which they are dedicated to re-energizing. If you haven’t heard of Buffalo Point (story on page 60), it’s a new, very small, exclusive boutique lodge where the luckiest among us go to unplug. Relaxation and restoration begin instantly among its luxurious trappings like Natura Bisse bath products, Matouk bedding and meals created to your specification. There’s a vineyard on the property, along with a charming pool and manicured grounds—all just a short drive from Oklahoma City or Tulsa. Should you decide to go, might we suggest that you wrap yourself in cashmere for the voyage? Our fashion writer, Laura Nance, took one for the team and snuggled into a terrific array of cashmere pieces you may wish to give yourself, or others. Frankly, we suggest both. As is our practice, we bring you all of these stories and more with the deepest gratitude for you, our sophisticated, discerning readers. You’re always on our minds. We wish you a beautiful holiday,

DEANNA ATKINSON
CEO, APIARIST AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERHERO BY KATI HANNA PHOTO BY JORDAN MOBLEY
14 LUXI E R E
BUSINESS
M
eet Deanna Atkinson, environmental scientist and leader of Oklahoma Environmental Services (OES) for almost 20 years. Atkinson’s passion for a cleaner and safer world has been instrumental in Oklahoma Environmental Services’ continued growth and success. Atkinson loves what she does. When she isn’t leading her organization, she and her husband spend their time working on building a new home on an acreage, with great care given to preserving the natural wildlife that call the land home, or planning their trip to the national apiarist convention. Tell our readers about your background; what attracted you to Oklahoma Environmental Services in the first place? My degree is in environmental science, and I started at OES as a project manager responsible for overseeing a caseload of contaminated properties. I’ve always enjoyed science and the outdoors, and the organizational aspect of project management came naturally to me. Being able to work outside, help clients and clean up the environment checked all the boxes for me. You have been leading OES for almost two decades. What are some of the changes you’ve witnessed in the past 20 years? On an industry level, I’ve witnessed a transition from mom and pop-type establishments to more national chains. We’ve observed an increased number of Oklahoma businesses being owned by out-of-state stakeholders. This has caused our client base to shift, which has resulted in the pursuit of larger contracts to include municipalities and federal installations. Our clients are increasingly interested in sustainability and environmental, social and governance criteria. Their customers and investors are becoming more environmentally conscious and therefore requiring increased accountability, which makes OES a perfect partner. How have you continued to make OES relevant in the environmental service and consulting industry? To stay relevant, we have been diligent about understanding what is going on around us; the latest trends and evolving needs in our industry. We stay connected and informed through our involvement with our industries’ associations. We listen to our clients’ experiences and challenges and remain informed on changes to regulatory agencies’ rules and regulations that affect our customers. As CEO, I’m also part of a national group of environmental company presidents and CEOs. It provides me tremendous value to learn from perspectives outside our state, and I’ve learned over the years that if it isn’t in Oklahoma yet, it will be coming soon. We have also heavily invested in technology and our infrastructure, which has afforded us the ability to recruit and retain exceptional talent. Because in the end, it all comes down to the customer service your employees provide. Treat your employees the way you want them to treat your clients, and the rest falls into place.
What’s next for OES? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established health advisories for the emerging class of contaminants called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). In popular culture, they’re the subject of the movies “The Devil We Know,” and “Dark Waters.” They’re a group of over 4,700 man-made chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s. They were and can still be found in stain- and water-repellent fabrics, nonstick skillets, polishes, waxes, fire-fighting foam, food packaging, electronics and even makeup. They’re known as “forever chemicals” due to their inability to break down under typical environmental conditions. PFAS have been found in soil (and food grown in contaminated soil) and water, including sources of drinking water. While PFAS have posed problems for decades, the EPA has determined toxicity information and provided regulatory guidance for only a handful of PFAS substances. Once risk levels are established by the EPA and substantial regulatory requirements implemented, our entire nation (local, state, federal) will follow suit and seek ways to remove them from the environment. OES stands ready to remediate PFAS contaminated soil and groundwater using proven technologies we currently employ for the remediation of other contaminants. There continues to be a groundswell for environmental justice, the belief that all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, income, etc., deserve the same protections from environmental health hazards and access to a healthy environment in which to live, learn and work. We embrace each opportunity to clean up contaminated sites and turn these places into properties that advance the community’s social and economic development. What has been your greatest lesson as a CEO? Remain humble, because your success comes from the efforts of others. It is tempting to let achievements go to your head and think, “I did this,” when it is attributable to your team. Be grateful for your lucky breaks and the hard work of those who choose to follow your lead. What has been your greatest joy as the CEO of Oklahoma Environmental Services? The 2020 construction of our corporate campus in Northeast Oklahoma City was a dream come true. We purchased the 3.5 acres at 2424 North Kelley, near the Capitol complex, and built our 5,500-square-foot corporate office space and a 16,000-square-foot warehouse. I’m still in awe every time I drive into our parking lot! You have been very intentional in building a strong team culture. How would you describe your culture and what have you done to build it? Our culture is based on respect and autonomy. We hire independent, self-motivated people and are intentional about defining the expectations we have for them. They have autonomy on how those expectations are fulfilled. Since our team of employees is all over the state, it is vital to maintain a strong team culture since we may only see each
other in person once a month. A few years ago, we brought in an outside business consulting firm called The Mettise Group. We created a strategic plan for future growth. That growth required the buy-in of employees. One of The Mettise Group’s recommendations was to have a corporate culture committee, composed of employees. Our committee is charged with creating and maintaining OES’ corporate culture that emphasizes team collaboration, accountability, purpose and excellence. We not only tasked them with the job, but provided the tools such as time and a budget to ensure their success. Tell us about your leadership style. My leadership style is one of collaboration and inclusion. I strive to view things from an employee perspective by considering how I would like to be treated. In the end, we all want to feel respected, heard and be a part of something larger than ourselves. I’ve found it’s more effective when the goal or expectation is communicated to the team and employees are empowered to achieve their own individual success. More often than not, they achieve a level of success greater than one imposed upon them by management. When you are not working, what do you enjoy doing? My husband and I recently purchased 50 acres of undeveloped land southeast of Oklahoma City. We’re building a homesite and creating a system of trails on the remaining acreage to encourage native habitats. It is heavily wooded, so I enjoy exploring all the flora and fauna and just being in nature. I welcome the responsibility of being a good steward of the land and its inhabitants. I hope to be able to share it with others someday. Finally, what is one of your life’s luxieres that you enjoy? My husband and I are apiarists and enjoy beekeeping. We plan to attend a national apiculture conference in January. Unlike regular livestock that can be fenced in, our bees are free to leave at any time. Therefore, we’re constantly ensuring their environment is hospitable, which includes plenty of pollen and nectar sources for them to choose from. It is currently a luxury because it costs more than it brings in, ha! However, having our own locally sourced honey and knowing we’re helping save pollinators makes it something I’m willing to indulge in. •

HOCHATOWN DISTILLING COMPANY
BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED OKLAHOMA BOURBON BY MICHAEL KINNEY
O
ut in the middle of Southeastern Oklahoma sits an oasis. That’s how Tommy McDaniel, co-owner of Hochatown Distilling Company (HDC), describes Hochatown, which is more than three hours from Dallas and four from Oklahoma City. With scenery like the Ouachita National Forest, Beavers Bend State Park, Cedar Bluff and Mountain Fork River all nearby, the area’s natural beauty may rival locales like the Grand Canyon. Yet McDaniel, a chemical engineer by education, wants the highlight of anyone’s trip to his secluded paradise to be something as simple as
taking a sip of his pure Oklahoma bourbon. As one of the owners of HDC, McDaniel knows that once someone tastes the complex flavor of its bourbon, they’ll immediately know they’re tasting something special. “We decided early on that bourbon is a very American/Americana type product. It’s been around since the foundation of the nation and has evolved with the nation,” he says. “And the mash bill that we use is 80 percent corn, 10 percent malted barley and 10 percent rye. The reason we chose that is because we wanted a full, balanced flavor

BUSINESS
in your bourbon profile. Sweetness from the corn is on the front of your tongue. You’re going to move over into some notes of what you get on the side, nutmeg, and a few of those notes. And then on the back of your tongue, you get that spiciness of a rye. And so you get a full, balanced flavor when you drink our bourbon.” The secrets to the flavor of HDC’s bourbon are some of the same factors that might make people overlook it. Their location, off the radar for many, provides the perfect elements to make HDC bourbon a truly flavorful punch to the taste buds. “One [factor] is our water. Iron is the enemy of distilling,” says HDC partner Mitchell McDaniel. “It’s like Superman’s kryptonite. Our water source does not have iron in it. We pull out of Broken Bow Lake and Mountain Fork River. We got really fortunate in a couple of things, and one of them was the water.” The second item is the climate in Hochatown, which helps the bourbon age well. “Two things to consider are your average temperature, annual temperature, and your humidity levels. We have four distinct seasons down in Southeast Oklahoma, and we enjoy the benefits of Texas heat,” Mitchell says. “The heat expands the liquid, drives it into the barrels. Reactions that have to take place that mellow out the bourbon have to occur. Those are all temperature functions, depending upon the heat of the juice that’s in the barrel.” Tommy and Mitchell McDaniel, a chemist with a 30year career in food science, are half of the founding partners of Hochatown Distilling Company, 41. N. Lukfata Trail, Hochatown, in McCurtain County. The rest of the foursome includes brother Mark McDaniel, a property developer with a track record of success, and longtime friend and experienced distiller Nathan Jewell. Each of them brings his own unique talents to the company, which have allowed HDC to become the first distillery in the eastern portion of the state and the first to barrel legal whiskey in the former Indian Territory of Oklahoma. “We are in a tourist market. We manage Broken Bow vacation cabins and Hidden Hills cabins, so our family have been some of the founders in cabin rentals and land development,” Tommy McDaniel says. “We knew to continue on, we needed more activities and more things for people to do in the area. So we started internalizing and looking at what skill sets we have that we can bring to the table. And we like to drink bourbon and have a good time. So we decided we were going to start a whiskey still and we would do moonshine, maybe bourbon.” It wasn’t until the group started studying Oklahoma’s laws concerning distilleries that they decided to go all-in on bourbons. “We were pretty well determined to keep moving forward knowing it takes years to get a bourbon out,” Tommy says. “But we were here for the long haul. That’s what started the initial process of distilling.” HDC broke ground on building the distillery in 2015. It took more than a year to not only finish the construction but also get the right federal and state licenses. It wasn’t until the fall of 2016 that they perfected their distilling technique and mash bill (blend of grains). “In September of 2016 we put up our very first barrel,” Mitchell McDaniel says. “We did not sell any product until 2019, [when] our first bourbon was two and half years old. We released our first product, which was a small batch bourbon. We could have sold vodka early, because it doesn’t have to be
LUXI E R E 19
BUSINESS
aged, but we wanted our first release to be a bourbon. We wanted to be known as a bourbon house.” Before it could be officially known as a bourbon house, the company had to maneuver its way through complicated Oklahoma laws that were holding the distillers back. After three attempts to get the statutes changed, they finally made headway in the recent legislative session. “We began to work with some legislators over the last couple of years to get language put into the statues that would allow us to sell directly,” Mitchell says. “There were some hurdles to the constitution; in our distiller’s license, we had language added that would allow us to sell directly out of our premises.” Despite roadblocks, Mitchell likes the path HDC has been on since they opened up. As the brand has spread throughout the region, he calls it managed growth. “When you go back to when our first bourbons were aged up and ready, our production was a lot less than it is today. So we developed these markets in Oklahoma to start with. Once we’re now about three and a half to four years removed from when our production was really ramping up, and we were putting up a lot more barrels, we branched out into the Texas markets,” he says. “Liquor King is the first store to pick us up, and they’ve got three locations in the Allen (Texas) area. We’ve rolled out starting in November with a group called Goody Goody. They’ve got about 24 stores, I believe, plus some other stores under a different name, so we’ll be rolling into those. So our growth has been a managed amount, but we’ve got the right trajectory.” Currently, the company’s product list includes small batch and single barrel bourbon, and its 80 proof Spearpoint Vodka. HDC produces around 3,000 bottles a month on the bourbon side of the business. That’s about the volume they plan to produce for the next four years, until the next phase of the plan comes to fruition. Hochatown Distilling Company has already acquired 10 more acres of land on which the partners plan to build a bigger distillery. Mitchell said that will allow the company to ramp up its production from 10 barrels to 100. “All of a sudden your costs go through the roof, so we’ve got to put together different cash flow schemes to help fund that while we’re waiting for four years for those bourbons to start coming off,” he says. “So, five years from today, I would say that we should be rolling out that production into a more regional-type setting where we’re in several states in the area. And then hopefully from there, we’ll continue with a decent growth curve to get 10 years from now and hopefully distributed throughout all of the U.S.’’ •

ULTIMO AND THE ART OF HAND-ROLLED CIGARS BY MICHAEL KINNEY PHOTOS BY KENNON BRYCE
BALDONADO AND HIS TEAM of artisans hand roll each cigar in a climate-controlled room.
22 LUXI E R E
L
ucile Aurore Dupin, perhaps better known by her pen name George Sand, once said, “A cigar is the perfect complement to an elegant life.” The French novelist wrote this in the early 1800s, yet some two centuries later, the infatuation of a good cigar has not changed much. A proper stogie is often viewed as the manifestation of reaching a high level of success and living the good life. Tomás Baquier Baldonado wants everyone to experience that lifestyle, or at least an excellent cigar, which is one of the reasons he created Ultimo, LLC, three years ago in Tulsa. Ultimo is the only licensed cigar manufacturer in this region of the country and one of just 162 licensed manufacturers in the United States. “Business has been crazy. It has boomed dramatically. My business model has evolved, actually. The original concept was nowhere near what it is today,” Baldonado says. “And the plans for the future are nowhere near where we are today, either. So it’s really a unique opportunity to be able to do something so different in this part of the country, and people are very receptive.” Ultimo, located at 6390 E. 31st St, Ste. C in Tulsa, imports its tobacco from around the world: Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Uganda, even Indonesia. Because it is one of just 50 factories in the United States that still makes cigars, it has been able to grow quickly. But success hasn’t come without hard work and the ability to adapt. “We manufacture six days a week, nine hours a day, making cigars for resale,” Baldonado says. “Whether it’s through wholesale, events, custom blends, through our website or walk-in business, we have multiple streams of revenue that keep us busy with all of our manufacturing.” Baldonado wasn’t born into a tobacco family. In fact, it wasn’t until he was 25 that he got his first job working part-time in a cigar shop in Central America. For seven years he learned all he could about the industry, before moving on to other enterprises. However, being a cigar aficionado never left his blood, and when he got the chance to jump back in, he took it. “About eight years ago I was hired by a Native American tribe, the Cedar Band of Paiute Indians. They were looking for somebody based in Oklahoma to help build this wine company for them. We built this wine company from scratch,” Baldonado says. “I was traveling around the country, visiting Native American communities and tribes to get our wine placed in their casinos. Up in Nebraska while I was talking to the Winnebago Tribe, they were really curious about my history. So we talked about the cigar industry and we came to the conclusion there weren’t any Native American cigars, but every cigar store has a cigar-store Indian.” It was from that epiphany that Baldonado started to craft his concept of being a broker of cigars for Native American tribes so they could have their own brands to sell in their casinos, smoke shops

and convenience stores. Still working full-time as a broker for US Foods, Baldonado said it took him close to eight months to get all the licenses and permits needed. Then, two days after getting the final permit, he lost his job and his income. “That means I had to start making the cigars,” Baldonado says. “I started retraining myself to make them, on how cigars are made and traditional methods. Then I quickly realized there were too many flaws.” Baldonado said the traditional manufacturing process was all wrong for the business model he was trying to build. Because he had to wait for the tobacco leaves to be dry enough, the process not only took too long but was also costly, especially when mistakes were made. Instead of folding his tent and giving up, Baldonado came up with a technique to keep his fledgling business alive before it had even gotten off the ground. “I decided to create this room that keeps the tobacco in a climate-controlled environment,” he says. “This way I can roll the cigars without having to wet the tobacco. So if we didn’t wet the tobacco, it’s drier and it’s ready to smoke quicker because we don’t have to go through that drying process. With our cigars, they’re smokeable when they’re rolled right there on the spot. So we go from leaf to smoke in 24 hours.” This also allowed Baldonado to develop a different cigar rolling method, which made it easier to train new employees. “It allows for a much more consistent cigar, a much more consistent burn, a consistent draw,” he says. “The technique and method have a higher efficiency rate and capacity for production. That’s why we are able to make so many cigars with so few people. We produce about 3,000 cigars a month. We should get to about 4,000 a month in the next month or so.” Baldonado decided the process he had created was just as valuable as the actual cigars he was putting out. So instead of just selling his Ultimo stogies, he is also selling the Ultimo process. “I’m selling them the model, the manufacturing process as a licensing opportunity,” Baldonado says. “So right now we’re in the works and final negotiation with a tribe in Eastern Oklahoma to license my intellectual property and they become an Ultimo licensed manufacturer under their own branding, and they have their own cigar factories inside the casino. And so now it creates Native American hand-rolled cigars, which do not exist anywhere in the world.” With the Ultimo method, tribes can produce cigars that can’t be found anywhere but in their own stores. “Several tribes have heirloom tobaccos that go back hundreds of years within their tribal history,” Baldonado says. “This gives them the opportunity to then go and take some of those heirloom seeds, grow and harvest their own tobaccos to use in their cigars. The concept of having Native American handrolled cigars made with heirloom Native American

tobaccos that go back hundreds of years in the Americas is an extremely unique opportunity.” Since Baldonado introduced the Ultimo to the public, its reputation has grown among the cigar smoking community. He even started cigar rolling classes, which have attracted people from all over the country to come to Tulsa to take in the full Ultimo experience and lifestyle. “Everybody that comes in, we give them a tour of our facility. We take them into the aging room, and they get to smell the tobaccos. They can sense the passion of what we do in that experience,” Baldonado says.
“And people love it. People come from all over the country. I have a gentleman that’s coming up from Lake Charles, Louisiana, who wants to do a class. He’s driving 10 hours just to do a two-hour class and then drive home. We’ve had people fly in from Sacramento. I’ve had people come in from Nebraska and come from North Dakota and people drive up from Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri, from all over the region, all over the country —that come specifically just to meet me and see the facility, buy some cigars and have this experience because it is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience.” •

WOMAN OF INFLUENCE
OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT JUSTICE NOMA GURICH BY CHRISTINE EDDINGTON PHOTO BY ERIN MCGREGOR, LEGISLATIVE SERVICE BUREAU PHOTOGRAPHY

n case you were wondering, 1950s South Bend, Indiana, was not a hotbed of activity for the women’s empowerment movement. South Bend women, generally limited to a handful of career choices acceptable for ladies, tended to become teachers or nurses. Little girls growing up then and there had likely never seen or heard of a woman who was, say, a scientist or a doctor. What on earth, then, would prompt a young Noma Gurich to reply, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, “President”? It’s a question that flummoxes her to this day. “I don’t know exactly why I did that. My mother was a teacher. At that point in history, I never had met a woman outside the home that was more educated than a teacher. There were a few people that had nursing backgrounds, but I had never seen anyone who wasn’t a teacher who was a professional woman. I’d never met a lawyer, or a judge,” she says. Growing up, Gurich was a tomboy and a talented musician. She played clarinet and eventually learned to play various iterations of the saxophone. She was in her school’s marching band, concert band and jazz band, and loved every bit of it. Her school had basketball, but not much more, for female student-athletes. “We played six-on-six and we had a small team. In high school there was just one girls’ basketball team, no varsity or junior varsity, so you basically sat on the bench for two years and then played for two years regardless of your skill or your ability to win. After one year on the bench I thought, ‘Well, this isn’t
26 LUXI E R E
getting me anywhere,’ so I spent much more time in band.” Between her junior and senior years of high school, Gurich attended a summer political science program at Indiana State University, where she met the first lawyer she’d ever known—Mr. Matthews, a mentor who would help her decide to go to law school herself. But first, he helped level up her undergraduate plan. “I was so taken with his discussion of law school and political science, and I’d always loved social studies. I loved government and economics my senior year in high school,” she says. Indiana State offered her an academic scholarship. She still sounds surprised when she tells the story. “Nobody had ever encouraged me, ever, to apply for a scholarship at any college. There was no counseling, no support. I was in the top 10 percent of my high school class, but nobody ever acknowledged that particularly. All of a sudden I had an academic scholarship and my parents figured out that they could help me with room and board, so I ended up going to Indiana State.” Band continued to play a big role in her life at Indiana State. “My high school band director, who I just worshipped, had gone to Indiana State so people in the music department knew him. He introduced me, and there was one other person from my high school at Indiana State, a year ahead of me. She’d been our drummer.” So armed, Gurich set off for college. She considered a music major but determined she was a better talker than musician, so instead majored in political science and spent all of her extra time in the band program as
WO M A N O F I N F L U E N C E
a non-major. “I also did Model United Nations. We went to some national conferences, so I had more chances to talk.” She added a speech class to her schedule and impressed her instructor. Gurich’s first inkling that she might want to be a judge happened in law school, at the University of Oklahoma. She’d been appointed to serve on the Student Superior Court. Her appointment was classic Gurich, a mix of sure intellectual competence and excellent networking. As a work-study student, Gurich found herself employed at the university copy shop, where she met student body president John Bode, whose wife Denise would later serve as Oklahoma’s Corporation Commissioner. When a vacancy appeared on the student court, Bode appointed Gurich, who served for two years. Noma Gurich plays a long game. Always has. She sets clear goals and then chips away until she achieves them. Sometimes barriers appear in her path, so she reevaluates, regroups and heads in a slightly different direction. She course-corrects and, when she’s determined that a particular action no longer serves its purpose, she moves on to a new tactic. After law school, Gurich wanted to go into private practice but not many firms would hire women in 1978. “I got hired by a small, family firm and was paid a lot less than the other attorneys,” Gurich says. When she walked into court to try cases, people had never seen a woman attorney. “I was in private practice for 10 years with two firms and had so many great opportunities. I learned to talk to people, to figure things out and that if people realize that they can trust you and depend on you, you create a network.” Her decade in private practice ended in grand fashion: Republican Gov. Henry Bellmon appointed her a judge of the Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Court. Democratic Gov. David Walters reappointed her for a second term in 1994. In July 1998, Republican Gov. Frank Keating appointed Gurich as judge of the District Court for Oklahoma County. She won a contested election that year, and was then reelected in 2002, 2006 and 2010. While a district judge, Gurich served as the presiding judge of both the 11th and 12th Multi-County Grand Juries (2007–2008 and 2009–2010) by order of the Chief Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Gurich was appointed to the State’s highest court by Democratic Gov. Brad Henry in 2010 and assumed office on Feb. 15, 2011. She was appointed to the Court following the death of longtime Justice Marian P. Opala, and is the third woman in state history after Alma Wilson and Yvonne Kauger to be appointed to the Supreme Court. She served as the administrative Presiding Judge of both the Worker’s Compensation Court and Oklahoma County District Court and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. No other person has been in the top leadership position at all three courts. Pretty darn good for a little girl from South Bend. •

OLGA AND ALEKSEY, RUSSIA AND COLORADO
A LOVE STORY THAT WAS MEANT TO BE BY VALENTINA GUTIERRÉZ PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE IVANOVS
T
his is a love story. It’s one couple’s classic tale: They share a love for art and each other, for a new country, a new culture and a new life. Aleksey and Olga Ivanov are artists originally from Russia, and for the last 20 years they have called the United States—specifically Colorado— their home. They are a bonded pair, married in real life but also in their art, creating each work in collaboration. Their art perfectly represents their lives. The European side, characterized by their favorite technique—egg tempera, native to Europe and tracing back to antiquity—and their deep appreciation for Western culture, which is represented graphically in most of their work.

When did you know you wanted to be artists? We were both around four years old. We were both born and raised in Moscow, and it is an entirely different dimension in so many ways, with a foreign language, culture, alphabet, different mentality. We were both students in an art college that was very strict, very academic, with set rules. Back then and there, they were very clear on telling art students how difficult and nearly impossible it would be for artists to make a living creating art. For us, it was undeniable that there was nothing else that we wanted to do but art. That brought us together. One day we were discussing how to make art sellable, how to make it interesting, so we said, “Let’s make this piece together,” so we did once and then another time and another time, and then we realized we were a family team. So every piece we create is 50/50. That is what we present to the public; we have one signature for both of us. Most importantly, we have fun, and we love what we do. Tell us a bit about your creative process. We like to jump in the car and take long rides to the mountains, we take photos and one of us says “Boom!”—there is an idea for a painting. Then we write it down, come back home and Olga does the first sketch and I (Aleksey) develop it. Then I produce a board or canvas, and we get started. One thing that makes our art unique is that we work with egg tempera, which is an ancient technique. We also incorporate modern tools into our creative process; for instance, we use iPads and Photoshop to develop sketches and compositions. At that point, we can move elements around, change the format and then transfer it to the board and choose the exact size we want. It was meant to be. We have been doing this for a long time; it’s been 30 years of us working together. We have two tables facing each other, and we have a mutual understanding of what is art, what is not art. We understand each other.

Tell us about your medium; why did you choose to work with egg tempera? It is the mother of techniques. It is very easy and challenging at the same time. It is a powder pigment mixed with egg yolk, which is very simple. It makes the process a little bit slow. It dates back to the Renaissance times in Italy and Germany and other European countries. The thing about egg tempera is that you use a lot of layers and millions of tiny strokes. We use different types of medium—for instance, we paint with oil from time to time, charcoal, pastels, but egg tempera is what excited us. What inspires you? We are so in love with Western art, people, landscapes and beautiful animals. We are so lucky that we got to arrange our lives to live in the mountains, a little bit isolated, and we get to breathe that mountain air and look at the bison, watch the birds, the sunrise and sunsets. We love empty spaces. We love going to Oklahoma City. We have met such fantastic people with a beautiful mentality, and we feel like they understand us as artists and how we feel and what we do. There is an extraordinary beauty about it. Aleksey, what is the most meaningful work of art you have created? My idea of being an artist is that it is just the beginning. If you say, “Oh, my work is so meaningful and I have created this, and that,” you are dead! You can retire. You can take a nap. It doesn’t matter how old I am; I always think that our best work is in the future. It is yet to come. Nothing is going to stop me—I will die with a brush in my hand. How does Olga approach art? Olga is more into colors and the emotional part of the art. She is way better than me at coming up with a title or an idea. I am more technical when it comes to straight lines, tiny details. I do a lot of the prep work, like sanding and framing. Again, we make a good team. What is the most fulfilling part of being an artist? It makes us happy. It is so meaningful when you spend so much time working on your art, and then it is appreciated. Sometimes, someone will love it so much that they will even buy it. Some immigrants say, “I came to the United States for a better life”—for us, we came to the United States to paint! So that someone could see and understand what we are painting. That is why we are here. I have made a life here; how cool is that? I found art collectors here that followed us throughout the years. They come to our shows and send us cards and notes. To us, that means everything. •

WRAP US IN CASHMERE
CHIC CLASSICS WITH A MODERN TWIST BY LAURA NANCE

hh, cashmere—the much-adored, timeless darling of winter. Cashmere is made for layering, for travel … honestly, for just about anything. From whimsical to classic, this season’s cashmere styles are the additions every closet needs. NEW TO CASHMERE? If cashmere is a new addition to your wardrobe, Angela Timberlake with Gretta Sloane, 6476 Avondale Dr, Nichols Hills, suggests starting with a sweater. “Good quality cashmere is like a warm hug; you’ll feel great every time you wear it. And it will last and last.” Timberlake also added that whimsy in cashmere is trending this season from designers like Leret Leret and Kerri Rosenthal. Leret Leret’s brother-sister team Andrea and Edouard Leret specialize in limited editions of a classic crewneck with a relaxed, unisex fit. Fancy a pizza on your shoulder or a bowl of fruit on your chest? Leret Leret is for you. Designer Kerri Rosenthal’s cashmere pieces are inspired by her original artwork, and she calls her pieces wearable art. Case in point: the heart-shaped Hug Shrug. Fun and versatile, it can be worn over your shoulders, around your waist or with your arms through the sleeves. If a longer sweater is more your style, the Love on Repeat long cardigan would be perfect with jeans and boots or thrown over a dress with a pair of fun tennis shoes.

WRAP IT UP Barbara Jensen with Balliets, 6443 Avondale Dr, Nichols Hills, loves the idea of a cashmere scarf for someone adding their first (or 200th) piece. “It can be used in so many ways: It can double as a chic evening wrap, or a cozy blanket on an overseas flight. It’s a great investment piece you’ll have for years to come.” A cashmere trend Jensen is seeing this season is the polo collar cashmere sweater. She suggests pairing this preppy piece with leather pants to add a little edge. If you’re already a cashmere aficionado, consider adding a camel sweater. Pair with similar colors head-to-toe and you’ll nail the on-trend, tonal look seen all over the runways.

LUXE, BUT MAKE IT SUSTAINABLE Sustainable cashmere is flying off the shelves at rosegold, 6423 Avondale Dr, Nichols Hills. Owner Amber Kern is a fan of the brand Crush, whose mindful-ofthe-planet focus is a hallmark in all styles and colors of cashmere. “Cashmere is the perfect option, especially for the climate in Oklahoma,” she says. “It’s not too hot, is great for layering and it is so versatile.” Kern’s
top picks are a cashmere wrap—“It’s soft and cozy and makes a perfect gift”—or a sweater that can serve as a stand-alone piece or be layered over a crisp button-down. “I think people used to gravitate to wool, but honestly, [now] more of my clients are going for cashmere. With wool it was always the question of, ‘How do I wear this?’ but with cashmere, there’s no guessing.” •

CUSTOM COUTURE WITH WILLIAM & LAUREN BY CHRISTINE EDDINGTON PHOTOS COURTESY OF WILLIAM & LAUREN

ould it surprise you to know that custom-made clothing is one of the purest joys on the face of the planet? Truer words may never be spoken. And since we’re speaking of bespoke, can you really think of any greater luxury than immaculately tailored clothing, lovely in every detail, made precisely the way you prefer and fitted to perfection? The experience of choosing every detail of a made-to-measure suit or jacket is a giddy one, astoundingly energizing and fun—but only if you are in the hands of an expert. In Oklahoma, Lauren Warkentine is that expert. Her atelier, William & Lauren, is housed on the ground floor of one of Oklahoma City’s newest iconic buildings at (and named) 701 N. Hudson. Her studio and shop are awash in natural light, as relaxing as a spa or your best friend’s house, and the perfect place to craft the wardrobe you’ve always dreamed of.

Warkentine started her company in 2015, and for her, necessity really was the mother of invention. “I was working a traditional job and was often the only young female executive in the room. Finding suits and professional workwear that fit well was tough. Or I’d find something that fit, but I didn’t feel feminine in it,” she says. Warkentine remembers one particular dinner meeting as the watershed event that ultimately launched William & Lauren. “I felt so uncomfortable at that dinner. I just sat there in my uncomfortable suit, thinking that there’s got to be something better.” Loads of research turned up zero custom suit makers catering to women, so Warkentine began polling her friends and colleagues. Nobody was thrilled with the selection of suits available, and both men and women needed a better option. She embarked on a self-directed crash course in haberdashery, learning about pattern making, fabrics, fit and design. “Many places take a man’s pattern and adapt it to women,” she says. That explains a lot. Of course, William & Lauren engages in no such foolishness. Women’s suit patterns are cut for women; men’s are cut for men.

Some 800 suits later, Warkentine has more than hit her stride. Her clients rely on her for all manner of custom clothing and concierge shopping, including shirts, formalwear, suits, pants, skirts, ties, tuxedos, blazers, velvets and more. “My clients run the gamut; I’d say mostly from late 20s to 40s. They’re in their go-go-go years and want quality, and they’re willing to pay for quality.” It often starts with a blazer. “We work together to choose every component,” she says. That means fabric, lining, buttons, buttonholes, monogram, lapel style, blazer cut and more. A bespoke blazer fitting involves 10 measurements; for a suit it’s 15. “The average appointment time is 45 minutes, but
we never rush.” Someone who wishes to thoroughly investigate her fabric options, for example, may need two or more hours, and that’s just fine with Warkentine. After measurements are taken and decisions decided, the next step is the waiting, and Tom Petty is right: It’s the hardest part. Four weeks or so later, the garment arrives back at Warkentine’s atelier, and another fitting ensues. “Sixty percent of the time, we don’t need to adjust a single thing,” she says. But the point is a perfect fit, so when fine-tuning is needed, it’s worth embracing. The resulting garments will be instant favorites, made for you and you alone. •

SNEAKERHEADS OF OKLAHOMA BY MICHAEL KINNEY PHOTOS BY VALENTINA GUTIERRÉZ

he name Kicklahoma is known around Oklahoma for being the place to score hardto-get sneakers. Whether it’s at one of its two stores in Oklahoma City or one of the special events it holds around the country, members of the Sneakerhead subculture often find themselves delving through the Kicklahoma stock. While Kicklahoma owner Juan Guerra, 31, caters to the growing legions of sneaker collectors, he also finds time to add to his own collection. That included showing up at a recent event wearing the Nike KD 4 “What The.” It had been on top of Guerra’s Holy Grail list of most coveted sneakers; a shoe so in demand that even though he purchased them in January, Guerra wasn’t allowed to tell anyone about them until July. In fact, he waited until October. “The KD 4 is the most iconic Kevin Durant shoe. It’s everybody’s favorite. It’s not necessarily mine. But the shoe itself in that specific colorway, there are only three pairs,” Guerra says. “KD owns the (size) 18, the designer owns the 9 and I own the 9. So it’s one out of three. Neither one of those two gentlemen has worn the shoe yet.”
While Guerra didn’t go into detail on how much he spent to get the shoes, he did say they are valued at about the same price as a new car. “I had to have that shoe because I’m known for having all these KDs,” he says. “When I was finally able to acquire that shoe in my size, people were like, ‘Are you going to wear it?’ I was like, ‘Yes, I’m going to wear it.’ Why would I spend that much money and have it in the closet?” While that seems extravagant for something that most people might throw in a duffel bag after working out at the YMCA, Guerra counts himself as a true Sneakerhead. He owns more than 800 pairs of sneakers that take up two rooms in his house. Some 650 are from Kevin Durant’s signature line. So there was no way he was going to let something that iconic get away from him. That is the mindset of many shoe enthusiasts around the country who are part of the Sneakerhead community. These are people who will do whatever it takes to get the newest (or best retro) kicks to add to their collection. It’s a growing, albeit somewhat competitive, community in Oklahoma, which is one of the

reasons Christian Velez and John Ariete opened their Edmond shop Variant Sneakers and Apparel, 100 N. Broadway, Ste. 154, in October. The shop sells high-end sneakers for women and men of all ages and demographics. “The sneaker community is growing worldwide, and especially in our state,” Velez says. “There is nothing like this in this area, the north side of Edmond. We wanted to kind of be like pioneers in that movement. We were surprised to learn the demographic is 14 to 50-plus. Talking about demographics, they always think of guys wearing this stuff. We sell a lot to females who are into the footwear.” The true definition of a Sneakerhead varies, depending on who you talk to. Travis Singleton, founder of the website sneakerreporter.com, who was based in Oklahoma City for five years, said a Sneakerhead is somebody who collects sneakers to wear them. But according to Ariete, people who collect sneakers to wear and those who buy them to turn around and resell them are all under the Sneakerhead umbrella, although on different tiers. “For me, I collect, I sell, I trade and I wear them. I have about 200 pairs of shoes right now. I probably only wear 20 percent of them. But that’s my art. That’s me collecting my Van Gogh or Picasso. I have shoes that I would never wear, but I will go upstairs and look at them almost every day. At the end of the day, it’s what it means to you. Some people will buy them not to collect; they just know they are going to appreciate in value. They have turned them into assets or stocks.” Others fall more into the Chad Reinke camp. The Oklahoma City film producer and founder of Reel Alpha Films has a private collection that numbers more than 200, and has to keep half his stock at his office. Despite the overflow, Reinke said he has never sold any of his kicks. “I think there are some people into sneakers who are more into buying pairs, holding them, then selling them,” Reinke says. “I’m kind of the purist that says shoes are made to be worn. I’m not the guy that buys a pair of shoes, sets them on a shelf, leaves them in a box, then flips them when the price goes up. The purist in me says I appreciate them for what they are, but at the end of the day, they are shoes. I’m not knocking those guys’ hustle. I would say you’re not a Sneakerhead, but a smart entrepreneur, which—there is nothing wrong with that.” The secondary or resale market for sneakers is estimated to bring in $1 billion in revenues. Because of that, becoming a Sneakerhead is definitely easier. The market is saturated with boutique shops and online sites that eliminate much of the hassle and work of getting that prized sneaker, if the customer has the money. Variant and Kicklahoma are just a couple of the secondary market stores that have opened up in Oklahoma in the past few years. Others include The Laboratory, 525 NW 11th St., Ste. 123, OKC; Grinmore, 1706 NW 16th, OKC and Silhouette Sneakers & Art, 10 N. Greenwood Ave., Tulsa. These stores have become vital to Sneakerheads, even those who long for the good old days. “The frustrating thing for guys like me is, I used to be able to walk into Foot Locker and buy these shoes,” Reinke says. “Now some of the guys will game the system a little bit to get their hands on them. So now I am paying 300 bucks for a pair of shoes that retail for $120. Before this was a big deal, I could go get them for $120.” In late October, a pair of size 13 Nike sneakers worn by Michael Jordan in his rookie season was sold for a record-setting $1.472 million at a Sotheby’s auction. According to Sotheby’s, they are the earliest known regular-season pair of Nikes worn by Jordan during a game. That made them a must-have for a Sneakerhead like Nick Fiorella, the collector who shelled out the money.

Morning features reporter for OKC’s Fox 25 Malcolm Tubbs has never paid $1.4 million for a pair of sneakers, but he does understand the fascination of owning them. “I am a fan of sneakers, I am a fan of the whole culture and just the overall swag,” Tubbs says. Yet Tubbs’ journey to becoming a Sneakerhead didn’t start until he became the emcee at Oklahoma City Thunder games. He said being in the spotlight made him more mindful of his appearance. Tubbs is an emerging Sneakerhead in the beginning stage of his collection: He has only 20 pairs after having given away a few dozen pairs to family and friends. While sneakers were once strictly the territory of athletes like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, it’s been hip-hop stars such as Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and social personalities like Sean Wotherspoon who have taken the sneaker game to a wider audience. It was Wotherspoon’s 1/97 collaboration with Nike that essentially became the foundation for what is now Variant Sneakers. Velez had always wanted the sneaker, but never had enough money to purchase a pair.
“It was our second or third day hanging out and I said, ‘We are going to buy that shoe today,’” Ariete says. “We walked about the mall and bought shoes to resell, for him to be able to buy the shoes. And he did. That was barely a year and a half ago. He was barely selling shoes. Now he owns a store.” That same Sean Wotherspoon model now sits in Variant with a price tag of $1,700. But Velez said he will never sell the pair he bought with Ariete’s help. The story behind the shoe is worth more than the actual money they would undoubtedly bring. “That shoe will never leave my collection because it tells a story of us being at the mall. It’s just more than a shoe to me,” Velez says. “That’s a shoe that even showed me how to resell shoes. Some of the shoes we were buying, we were making $9. But that $9 will add up. That conversation and that experience just to get that shoe changed my perspective on reselling. I started just for that shoe.” At the end of the day, it’s the stories behind each sneaker, and the thrill of the hunt, that keeps Sneakerheads new and old on the prowl. •

Many people think health coaching only involves help with your diet and exercise. Our Health Coaching program encompasses all aspects of your health that you can control. We call these the 7 Pillars of Health and we can help you develop healthy life long habits in each of these areas:
HYDRATION - Water is the single most important nutrient to your body. You need a strategy and solid habits to drink enough water each day.
SLEEP - It is during these precious hours of sleep that your body recharges and restores itself. You need an awareness of your quality of sleep and ideas for improving sleep.
DETOXIFICATION - This is vital to the liver and other body systems because it can “clean out” your systems, improve gut function, and set you up for any weight loss you might want. We guide you through a 7 day detoxification.
7 PILLARS
OF HEALTH FOOD AS FUEL - We teach you the best fuel for your body for maximum energy, how to manage your macronutrients, and how to manage your weight. EXERCISE - There are over 50 benefits of exercise besides helping you to lose weight. We help you tap into all the health benefits of exercise by developing the regular habit of movement. SUPPLEMENTATION - Plant based supplements can improve your overall health, improve energy, and have the potential to improve your lab numbers over time. They can also work alongside prescription medications for various diagnosis. MODIFYING YOUR BODY’S RESPONSE TO STRESS - Stress is more than a bad mood. We help you understand how it may be affecting your health and give you strategies to modify your body’s response to stress.

DR. CASTEL SANTANA
ON FUNCTIONAL AND INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE BY CHRISTINE EDDINGTON PHOTO COURTESY OF DR. SANTANA
W
e recently chatted with Dr. Castel Santana, MD, known to his patients as Dr. Cas. He’s a board-certified family medicine doctor who has dedicated his career to creating healthy, happy communities, one patient at a time. He received his medical degree from American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and completed his residency at University of Maryland Family Medicine, and is board-certified through the American Board of Family Medicine. As his medical career progressed, he realized some crucial elements were missing in the treatment of patients: time, respect and listening. At the same time, his desire to provide a different—and better—level of health care increased. Santana now delivers his unique model of health care to patients, blending the best of integrative and functional medicine. He graciously answered our most pressing questions. What is Integrative Medicine? This is the practice of bringing both naturopathic (natural medicine) and allopathic (western/pharmaceutical medicine) medicine together. What about Functional Medicine? This is the practice of getting to the root cause of disease and fixing these problems at the source.

Could you explain what inflammation actually is? The body’s natural response to invading pathogens. When this becomes a chronic process is when most chronic disease is formed. We focus on two layers of inflammation in our clinic, including the gut and cellular inflammation. What’s the gut microbiome? We have trillions of good bacteria that reside in our intestinal system. The majority of these co-inhabitants are friendly to us and help us break down vital nutrients and send us messages about the environment. This is also a major protective barrier for us and needs to run optimally. We focus on dysbiosis of this layer and optimizing the microbiome and its function. Why is gut health important? This is the portal to everything else in the body. Some 70 to 80 percent of your immune system lies in the gut, and this is a major area of where we get our information from the environment. This tends to be a major area of inflammation and a source of much chronic disease. The food we put into our body is a major factor to health in this layer. •

FIVE PILLARS
Dr. Santana has developed a unique, multifaceted approach to health care, which he calls the Five Pillars. They’ve been a major part of his practice for over 10 years, and include:
Medical Wellness includes things like allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, cold, diabetes, flu, gut health, hormone replacement therapy, hypertension, sports physicals and vaccinations. Physical Wellness involves lifestyle and weight management planning. Mental Wellness is the treatment of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), etc. Spiritual Wellness includes mindfulness and practices like meditation or yoga. Aesthetic Wellness is about looking your best and may include dermal fillers, hair rejuvenation, liquid nose augmentation or skin rejuvenation. “Patients can expect me to spend time getting to know them, to understand what they’re going through, to accept them for who they are and to work hard for them,” Santana says. Learn more about him and his innovative standard of care at drcasmd.com. He’s also seeing patients at his practice, the Norman Regional Wellness Clinic.

ESCAPE TO BUFFALO POINT The destination you didn’t know you needed BY CHRISTINE EDDINGTON PHOTOS PROVIDED BY BUFFALO POINT RESORT
M
aybe Waukomis isn’t in your top five places for a quick getaway, but it certainly should be. Waukomis, Oklahoma, is a tiny town just a hop and a skip from Enid, about an hour and a half from Oklahoma City and closer to two hours from Tulsa. With fewer than 1,400 residents as of 2019, the town is peaceful, even a little sleepy. And that’s what makes it a worthwhile, even necessary, destination. The peace. The silence. Oh, and the luxurious mini-resort Buffalo Point, dreamt up by Mo and Richard Anderson, who grew up in and around the town. Is the name Mo Anderson ringing a bell? Her career in real estate is the stuff of legend. In 1995, she became the first CEO and co-owner of Keller Williams Realty International, and serves as vice-chairman of its board. Deemed one of America’s top 25 Influential Thought Leaders by REALTOR magazine and One of Real Estate’s Most Influential People, Anderson continues to cultivate the firm’s culture, inspiring 189,000 agents in 32 countries to maintain high standards of character. She is the author of A Joy-filled Life: Lessons from a Tenant Farmer’s Daughter Who Became a CEO, and launched MoAnderson.com, an online mentoring community.
She credits Richard with much of her success, saying that she never plans her life “because God and Richard are always opening doors!” Anderson, for her part, has the faith to walk through those doors as they appear. The daughter of a tenant farmer, Anderson tells stories about how excited she was to move to Waukomis as a high schooler because it meant her family would have an indoor bathroom. She shares the gifts she received from her loving family: an unparalleled work ethic and a true desire to give. That childhood move to Waukomis was fateful for another reason. She and Richard met in high school and have been sweethearts ever since. Richard Anderson has a knack for surprising Mo with ideas that end up being exactly what she didn’t know she needed next. An example: In 1972, Richard announced to Mo that he had signed her up for a real estate class. At the time, she was a teacher and happy in her career. But Richard saw in her the potential to achieve success at a high level, so the two took the course together and her new career began. Buffalo Point is a passion project for the Andersons. They love Waukomis and initially bought the seven-acre estate with the thought of building

TWO NIGHTS AT
BUFFALO POINT To stay at Buffalo Point is to be swaddled in luxury, plush comfort and deep, deep relaxation. Right before you arrive, however, that may not be imminently clear. During the approach to the property, it is easy to wonder if you are in the right place. Waukomis is a town of modest means, clean and neat, filled with friendly people, but nonetheless quite modest. But then, after a couple of turns, faith is rewarded. Buffalo Point comes into view and any hesitation evaporates. Every guest is greeted by hosts Gwen and Doug Pethoud upon arrival. But even before that, guests will receive a preliminary email from the couple asking after food preferences and other needs. This lovely couple will do everything in their power to make your stay perfect. They’ll provision your suite with groceries and wine, they’ll bring you a beautiful gourmet breakfast each morning and they’ll charm you. Gwen is a Canadian transplant and world-class culinary artist whose earlier career was spent as a private chef aboard some of the largest private luxury yachts in the world. Doug, an engineer, grew up in Waukomis and has spent much of his career in petroleum exploration throughout Oklahoma and Texas. Both love the arts and are a joyous addition to the Buffalo Point experience. Once settled in, your choices are blessedly few: go for a soak in the outdoor spa or a dip in the pool; enjoy a glass of wine on the wide, covered porch; pop over to Enid for some extraordinary Italian food at Napoli’s; or if you’re feeling really decadent, wrap yourself in one of Buffalo Point’s plush robes, enjoy a steamy shower in the spa-grade en suite (with Natura Bisse bath products!) and settle in for some deep relaxation. You could light the fireplace and read (or just watch the fire), or you could snuggle into the perfectly crisp Matouk Hotel Collection linens and fluffy pillows and Netflix the night away. You will sleep like you haven’t in years, thanks to the glorious silence and incredible comfort. That’s it. Those are the choices. Your normally overloaded mind may take a moment to relax its grip and recognize what a treat this is. Soon enough you’ll be padding happily about the suite, the silence punctuated only by your own deep sighs of contentment. Richard Anderson says he can feel his blood pressure drop the minute he arrives, and he’s right. It’s the precise effect the place has, and it’s a beautiful respite.

a little farm cottage where they could stay while visiting family. Maybe it would have enough room for everyone to gather, but it would be simple. “A family had owned the land since statehood,” Richard says, “and we heard they might be willing to sell. We bought it and it was full of wild trees, so we spent a year cleaning it up. We hired an architect who could see our vision and we started expanding our concept.” Austin-based interior designer Betty Shaw, who has worked with the Andersons on their Edmond and Austin homes, was brought into the project early on, and her impeccable taste and eye for detail are a large part of what makes the property so special. It’s truly luxurious, but quietly so. It doesn’t shout “fancy”—rather, the more you settle in and look around, the more it begins to dawn on you that every detail is
perfect. The finishes on the wainscoting and paneling, the fabric for the drapes, the collection of antiques and family treasures throughout all add up to exquisite comfort. The grounds contain a main house, guest wing, garage apartment, beautiful timber-frame barn/event space, vineyard, swimming pool and cabana, chicken coop and garden, greenhouse, fire pit, gazebo, stone pathways and regal water feature and pond, above which stands a huge bronze buffalo created by Dallas artist George Caddell. Construction was executed in three phases, beginning in 2011 and wrapping up in late spring 2021, when Buffalo Point began hosting corporate retreats, family reunions and people just looking to get away. It’s booking fast now that word is getting out. Better act quickly; this little slice of heaven won’t be our little secret much longer. •

THE TOWN, THE VINEYARD AND THE VISION Mo and Richard Anderson love Waukomis and are proud of their roots. They’ve extended their largesse to the entire town, building a vineyard at Buffalo Point and creating Buffalo Junction in the heart of downtown. Buffalo Junction is a charming strip of newly opened local businesses including Mo’s Place café, serving gourmet coffee and hometown-style dishes, the newly reinvigorated Shorty’s barbershop, Painted Buffalo Trading Co. boutique gift shop and the Chapel of Joy venue for wedding ceremonies. A new Buffalo Junction residential apartment complex and interactive mural and sculpture park dedicated to the pioneers who started Waukomis are also located on the downtown strip. Back on the Buffalo Point property, a 330-plant vineyard is flourishing under the tutelage of Gene Anderson, Richard’s cousin, who also helped oversee the development of Buffalo Point. “It was my dream to plant a vineyard,” Gene says. “I knew wheat and cattle, not grapes, so I went to OSU and went through that degree.” Gene learned about grapes, the infrastructure of building a plot and all of the ins and outs of keeping grapes healthy and happy in Oklahoma. “We planted in 2012. They were just root balls with a 1” crown. We trained them on cane poles and it took three years to get to fruition,” Gene says. He oversees the harvest in mid-August and leases a friend’s winery in Stillwater, where Buffalo Point grapes yield about 1,500 bottles of four different wines, all semi-sweet. He also produces and bottles grape juice. Wine and juice are available at Buffalo Trading Co. along with loads of locally made goods like candles, home décor and more. ABOVE: Buffalo Point is also a working, 330-plant vineyard, producing four types of semi-sweet wine.
