“We were hip-hop first and just happened to be introduced to classical instruments,” said Sylvester in an article for SouthFlorida.com. “So it was very natural to blend the two together.” The duo has been pushing musical boundaries from album to album, exploring R&B, rock, and even bluegrass. Their latest album, Stereotypes (released in 2015), is justly named since the album explores the way humans stereotype each other based on choices or race. In an interview with Lindsay Totty at NPR, Sylvester spoke about an exchange in an elevator with a woman who assumed, by judging his outward appearance, that he didn’t play classical music. Black Violin hopes that audiences understand their goal in breaking down through their music, hoping to break barriers all across the these walls with their music, and are open about their own board. vJORDAN MARIE MARTINEZ experiences being stereotyped.

spring 2017

In 2012 the world lost a beloved gorilla known famously for decades. The gorilla, named Ivan, was 50 when he died, but his memory has been immortalized in a bronze statue at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.

“We are pleased that this beautiful and fitting memorial of Ivan now stands in a public spot within Point Defiance Park,” says Erik Hanberg, a member of the MetroParks Tacoma Board of Commissioners. “We are confident that visitors will come to view this sculpture of Ivan and learn about actions Neither Ivan nor any gorilla ever set foot in the park’s Point they can take to help gorillas in the wild.” Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.

COMMENCEMENT BANK CELEBRATES 10 YEARS “In 1977, I began my banking career with a savings bank located in downtown Tacoma at 1102 Commerce St.,” says Hal Russell. “Today, as the president of Commencement Bank, my office remains in Tacoma and, ironically, is located in the same building on Commerce Street. As a young trainee, I could not have imagined that, 39 years later, I would help create what has become one of the areas healthiest new community banks.”

“The success of Commencement Bank would not have been possible without our traditional approach to banking, the hard work and dedication of our staff and board, the continuous support of our shareholders, and our loyal clients who believe in the value of relationships,” says Russell.

Commencement Bank was chartered in 2006 with the vision, says Russell, to become a “high-touch, hightech” bank with an unwavering commitment to become a strong community partner. Fast-forward 10 years, and it is proud to have accomplished that goal. Despite the recession, and the fact that Pierce Count y– he adqu a r te re d banks declined from 10 to just three remaining today, Commencement Bank has grown to a $335 million bank with four locations and 50 For additional information: employees. Contributing to its growth was its merger with commencementbank.com Olympia-based Thurston First Bank in October 2016. thurstonfirstbank.com

Throughout all of its accomplishments and challenges, Russell emphasizes, one thing that has remained consistent is that it has never strayed from the customer-focused philosophy that the bank was built on. “I will not pretend to know what the next 10 years will bring, but I do know that as long as our customers and community are at the heart of every decision we make, we will consider our bank successful.” vGALEN ANNEST

celebrate at the new cheesecake factory Tacoma has a new favorite restaurant. With its upbeat European décor, The Cheesecake Factory is known for its extensive and innovative menu, generous portions, distinctive upscale décor and legendary desserts. The first Pierce County location opened its doors this past December, with an immediate following. Upon entering, guests are greeted with enthusiasm and the hospitality that the restaurant chain is known for. “We want people to feel at home and welcome, to leave happier than when they arrived,” says manager Lezlie Siegel. The seemingly endless menu provides something for everyone. Start by sharing one of the many small plates, snacks or appetizers. Our publisher’s favorite is the Thai lettuce wraps—the perfect fresh appetizer with a choice of three wonderfully spicy Thai sauces. The main menu is well-appointed with “super” foods (nutrient-rich special recipes), salads and pastas, “Glamburgers” and sandwiches, steaks and chops, and more. We recommend the Chicken Bellagio: crispy coated chicken breast over basil pasta and parmesan cream sauce topped with prosciutto and arugula salad. Its richness is delicious with just the right balance of fresh taste and savory pesto flavor. Portion sizes are such that you have ample leftovers for lunch the next day.

The Cheesecake Factory is quickly becoming a go-to spot in Tacoma for celebrations. For a delicious meal that is also an experience, try this new upscale restaurant, conveniently located at the Tacoma Mall. vLEAH GROUT

Let us not forget what this restaurant was founded on: cheesecake! There are 33 varieties, plus a range of other specialty desserts for a total of 50 choices in all. The question becomes how to choose your favorite.

local family provides seafood that is boat-to-table harvested “Sassy Seafood is literally my dream that came to life,” says company owner Libie Cain. “I met my husband 20 years ago when he was a Bering Sea crabber. I was working at a design firm in Seattle. So I traded my high heels for Xtratufs boots and my pantyhose and skirts for hooded sweatshirts and orange Grundens [waterproof clothing].”

teresa reeves and libie cain, photo by cortney kelley

Cain has now been deckhanding for her husband on their own boat for 14 years. The idea for Sassy Seafood came to her about 10 years ago, she recalls, after they were getting low prices at the canneries for their high-quality albacore tuna. “In 2009, I finally got enough courage to ask my best friend, Teresa Reeves—also married to a commercial fisherman who owns and operates his own boat—what she thought about the idea and if she wanted to join me in the adventure.” Two weeks later Reeves resigned from her retail management position, and the two friends have been “Sassy Seafooding” ever since. “We couldn’t beat them, so we joined them,” says Cain. Cain and Reeves have always had a vision to use Sassy Seafood as a sales vehicle for their albacore and specialty seafood products, but also as an education platform. Cain says they pride themselves in being harvesters as well as “advocates and teachers” about the commercial fishing industry.

“We want other families to know and understand why it is so very important to know where your food is coming from, who is getting it for you, and the journey that took place for it to be on your plate,” Cain explains. When people buy and consume Sassy Seafood, she continues, they can feel good about investing in the rich heritage of small, artisan commercial fishing as well as the local economy. She adds that they are also investing in their health. Cain and Reeves pride themselves on owning and operating the vessels that do the harvesting of their products in the Pacific Northwest where they live and do business. They say this ensures that the quality of their products are of the highest standard, and it guarantees that their seafood is completely traceable. “It is our privilege to provide the finest quality of fish, harvested from off our hooks and put directly into your hands and onto your plate,” says Cain. “Here at Sassy Seafood, we refer to this as the ‘boat to belly’ concept.” For more information about sustainable fisheries and the working fishing families that make up the industry, visit noaafishwatch.gov or seafoodwatch.com. vLEAH GROUT For additional information: Sassy Seafood sassyseafood.com

spring fashion

2016 is now behind us, and left behind are memories of monochromatic looks, minimalism, and “athleisure.” For the upcoming season, prepare to embrace the rebirth of 1980s glam. Spring 2017 will introduce a modern version of the fashion revolution, bringing back puffed sleeves, bold prints and colors, ruffles, and statement earrings. Spring catwalks are flourishing with interpretations of the ’80s, translating to a season of self-expression and unpredictability. What does this mean for the average working woman? More statement pieces. Ditch your boring black blazer and reach for one that’s oversized with a bold color or print. And if you’re feeling like taking a risk, go for the one with architectural shoulders or sleeves.

color

Spring 2017 fashion shows debuted a tremendous number of dramatic colors, favoring shades such as pink and yellow. Retire an excessive amount of black to the back of your closet and dare to be different with neon blazers, printed tops, striped trousers and embellished blouses.

frills and ruffles

Expect to see ruffles everywhere this season since frills were seen all over the runway. The style effortlessly showcases personality while remaining feminine. Voluminous sleeves and ruffles add a romantic element to every woman’s closet. This year is all about standing out, so if you can’t let go of your dark minimalist pieces, try vamping up your accessories selection.

statement earrings

Another way to shake things up is to add statement earrings. Designers such as Proenza, Delpozo, and more have made the message clear: the bigger and bolder the better. Fashion in 2017 is all about getting out of your comfort zone, expressing yourself and pushing boundaries. Bring confidence to your wardrobe by increasing the number of standout colors, prints, accessories and embellishments to take the new year by storm. Go from minimalist and muted to bold and beautiful, creating the most exciting wardrobe you’ve ever had. vKATRINA REMBERT

linda macneil: wearable glass jewelry Artist Linda MacNeil’s innovative use of glass to create elegant, wearable jewelry provides a unique opportunity for the Museum of Glass to present its first jewelry exhibition. MacNeil has been a pioneer in both the studio jewelry and studio glass movements since the 1970s. It was during that decade that MacNeil began fashioning a body of work that combines glass and nonprecious metals—more recently augmenting them with precious materials—to make exquisite adornments.

MacNeil’s sophisticated statements over more than 40 years have ranged from playful, often surrealistic pronouncements to formal compositions that sometimes reference fine jewelry from the great international houses of the 20th century. What unites all of MacNeil’s work is her passion for making and a concern for materiality that results in her pushing to the limits the inherent characteristics of the glass—its transparency, opacity, and reflective and refractive qualities. When juxtaposed with metalwork that is elegant, restrained, symmetrically arranged and often visually understated, the glass rivals precious gems and evokes jewelry and metalsmithing from ancient times through the art deco period to the present. To date, MacNeil has created more than 700 necklaces, brooches and earrings. This retrospective exhibition and accompanying monograph, organized by guest curator Davira S. Taragin, is the first to explore in depth MacNeil’s work and her contribution to late 20th- and 21st-century American jewelry. The monograph covers MacNeil’s biography and discusses the development of her aesthetic and influences. Noted jewelry historian Ursula Ilse-Neuman contextualizes MacNeil’s contribution in the international art jewelry movement and in the use of glass in jewelry over the centuries. The exhibition and monograph fully recognize for the first time Linda MacNeil’s significant contribution to contemporary glass and jewelry, says Taragin. “The scholarly examination of the development of this innovative jeweler’s stunning aesthetic and her position within the history of jewelry and adornment enhances the fields of both glass and jewelry.” Linda MacNeil: Jewels of Glass is on display at the Museum of Glass until October 1, 2017. vIN COLLABORATION WITH THE MUSEUM OF GLASS

begin your style journey at embellish When you walk into Embellish Multispace Salon, you notice the bright, upbeat atmosphere created by owner Patricia Lecy. One of the many interesting things you will see is a large aquatic mural above the shampoo lounges. “Why stare at a white blank ceiling? Why not look up and see something beautiful?” says Lecy.

To view the mural, check out Embellish and go on a style journey for yourself. vLEAH GROUT

Embellish 727 Commerce St, Tacoma 253.752.8144 She commissioned Maria Jost, local science illustrator and embellishtacoma.com science educator, to create the dynamic ceiling mural for patrons to enjoy. You can see her work on the adjoining page. Maria Jost Explains Jost: “The interplay between matter and energy in mariajost.com our world will interest me forever. Matter is the physical stuff that creates the endlessly diverse forms in the universe, and energy powers the vibrations and movements of life. Living things (such as kelp, jellyfish, seahorses and barnacles) emerge with the addition of life force energy, carried in DNA instructions and passed from parent to offspring. The forms that surround us are remarkable and lovely.”

The Embellish staff has been thrilled with the addition of the mural to the space. They say that clients comment continually about how peaceful it is and that they never get tired of looking at the work, since there’s always something new and delightful to discover. “That is how we feel about our clients and their style journey as well,” says Lecy. “We have had some hair relationships for 20-plus years and the evolution of those can be compared to the everchanging ecosystem of nature. We were so inspired by the mural that we created hair and makeup looks with colors and textures to complement Maria’s work. Spring is going to be delightful!” SHOWCASE MAGAZINE
