Yelena is Russian born and I.U. educated in both music and art. She is best know for her piano performances, but that impressive reputation will soon be matched and eclipsed by her recognation as a talented painter. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, Yelena will demonstrate her mastery of placing paint on canvas, and producing extraordinary paintings in a wide variety of color palate and style.

Reception and encore exhibition of relief limestone carvings by Sidney Bolam, and paintings by Mark Blaney.
Sidney Bolam creates limestone carvings, inspired by nature. Her pieces range in size and complexity from simple carved stones to ornate and intricate scenes. All are practically portable, without a truck or crane.
Paired at The Venue with Sidney is Mark Blaney, an artist who arrived in Bloomington and has made it his home. And it is a perfect fit. Mark’s paintings are a treat for the eye and manifest his appreciation of nature and people. Each piece has a back story that invites viewers to use their best thinking, to connect and derive the full import of the piece, or better still, to create their own narrative.
All proceeds benefit Rhino’s.

Jeff White, Professor of Environmental Science at SPEA, will present at talk entitled “An Update on the Climate Change Dilemma from the Perspective of an Environmental Scientist”. Climate change has been and will likely continue to be a defining issue of our time. The topic has become so politicized that it is difficult to decipher the status of the science from the amplified political noise that currently engulfs it. White will provide a brief update of the science. He will also touch on several aspects of the changing political landscape that affects the advancement of the science, which is essential to development of smart policy.
Immediately following White’s presentation members of Citizens’ Climate Lobby will hold a letter writing party for Green Drinks participants who would like to help build the political will for a stable climate.
