Russian-born painter Nina
Mikhailenko grew up among the intelligentsia and
cultural elite of St. Petersburg, where she studied
piano, ballet and fine art. She graduated from the
renowned Mukhina Art Institute and came to the United
States in 1974.
A member of Oil Painters of America, she also works in
watercolors, pastels, charcoal and ink, often on
location. As a plein-air artist, she has traveled the
world to capture the atmosphere of her subjects, and in
turn her award-winning paintings have been shown all
over the United States and Europe.
Stylistically, her work has roots in a late-19th century
Russian art movement called “Peredvishniki.” Literally,
the Peredvishniki were itinerants or wanderers, who
rebelled against the formal restrictions of the tsarist
Imperial Academy of Arts and opted to show their work in
new venues. They painted populist themes in an
accessible style: peasants, religious celebrations, and
Russian landscapes.
Nina Mikhailenko upholds this tradition of creating art
that is both serious and accessible. Not surprisingly,
her most successful works are commissions, which allow
her to match a theme with its environment. Her murals of
life on Pampas, bullfights, chefs, cigar smokers, jazz
musicians, and well-fed people having fun adorn the
walls of upscale steakhouses, for example, and carry no
hidden moral agenda.
Her human figures, particularly, embody a depth of
character and memory, in close and crowded settings
energized by vigorous color, texture and motion. Nina
herself is a small, delicate woman, yet some of her
canvasses are enormous. They seem to reflect a heroic
impulse: energetic, bright, always stretched to the
limit of a realistic style.
Nina masters great quantities of energy, creating art
that is densely composed, painstakingly wrought, bold
and detailed.
In sum, she is an exceptional artist whose work is
vibrant yet comforting, monumental yet in perfect scale
with its surroundings.

The Seattle Symphony was founded in 1903, and is one of
the oldest and largest cultural institutions in the
Pacific Northwest. Recognized for its adventurous
programming and tradition of performing music by
contemporary composers, the Symphony is represented on
nearly 100 compact discs. From September through July,
the Seattle Symphony is heard live by more than 315,000
people annually in a schedule that includes 18 weeks of
classical subscription Masterpiece concerts and a broad
spectrum of other series, including Visiting Orchestras,
Basically Baroque, Mainly Mozart, Popular Classics,
Seattle Pops, Symphony Specials, Discover Music!, Tiny
Tots, Popular Culture, Distinguished Artists, Guitar,
and the Fluke/Gabelein Organ Recital series. The
Orchestra also performs in community concerts throughout
the Puget Sound region and the state of Washington.
After almost a century of searching for a permanent
concert hall, the Seattle Symphony opened Benaroya Hall
on September 12, 1998. Benaroya Hall was created
specifically for symphonic concert music, and its
stunning acoustics have received virtually unanimous
praise from local, national and international media. The
Hall was designed by LMN Architects of Seattle and
world-renowned acoustical consultant Dr. Cyril M.
Harris. A true public/private venture, more than half of
the $118.1 million in construction costs were borne by
the private sector.
The Seattle Symphony was established on December 29,
1903, when violinist/conductor Harry West assembled 24
musicians to perform in Christiansen Hall, which was
located directly across the street from the current home
of the Seattle Symphony. Music directors have included
the noted American composer Henry Hadley (1909–11), John
Spargur (1911–21), Basil Cameron (1932–38), Nikolai
Sokoloff (1938–40), renowned British conductor Sir
Thomas Beecham (1941–44) and Manuel Rosenthal (1949–51).

COLUMBIA WINERY – PIONEERING
WASHINGTON WINEMAKING SINCE 1962
 Columbia
Winery was founded in 1962 by ten friends, six of whom
were University of Washington professors. Originally
known as Associated Vintners, the group was united in
the belief that classic European vinifera vines could
survive the harsh Washington winters and that fine wine
could be made in Washington State. They began by making
wines in the garage of Dr. Lloyd Woodburne, Columbia
Winery’s first winemaker, in the Seattle neighborhood of
Laurelhurst.
David Lake, Master of Wine, joined Columbia Winery in
1979 as winemaker and has continued the pioneering
spirit of Columbia Winery’s founders. David is most
renowned for his experimentation with new varietals and
for producing the first series of vineyard-designate
wines in Washington State. He was the first winemaker to
produce several varietals in Washington, including
Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Gris. Today, David
continues to experiment with new varietals and in new
directions. He is committed to creating the highest
quality wines possible.
Columbia Winery produces Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris as well as
exceptional Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Columbia Winery
offers vineyard-designate wines from long-established
vineyards such as Otis, Wyckoff and the renowned Red
Willow vineyard. The winery also produces numerous wines
in very limited quantities that are sold exclusively at
the winery and for the wine club.
The Enjoyment of
Wine and Food by David Lake, Master of Wine
Wine should enhance the
pleasure of good food just as food should enhance the
enjoyment
of wine. Growing
up in Europe and later in the British Wine Trade, my
sense was that great wines, especially French and Italian, need
food to show at their best. Many modern international
style wines are
made for show,
not for drinking. They are remarkably complete of
themselves, prima donnas, leaving little room on the
stage for good food. Usually, they are better consumed
before or after the meal.
As Paul Pontallier,
winemaker at Chateau Margaux, said to some of us at his
table at a recent dinner featuring a lineup of highly
awarded Australian Show Reserve Wines, "these are
amazing wines, but I wish there was a wine amongst them
that we could drink with dinner!"
Columbia Wines are made
for drinking and not for show. With the notable
exception of our Cellarmaster's Riesling and
Gewürztraminer, which work as well on their own as with
a meal, our wines are designed to be enjoyed with food.
The dry whites are
genuinely dry without a trace of residual sugar, and are
designed to finish cleanly and crisply to contrast with
and complement the food. Our red wines possess adequate
underlying acidity to freshen fruit flavors and balance
alcohol and flavor intensity.
Wines without sufficient
balancing acidity often appear heavy, tiring and boring
with food. Our goal is to make wines that drink so
pleasurably with food and friends, that it’s remarkably
hard not to finish the bottle!

Do you know that "Content is King"?
You've heard that expression before, but
what does it mean for your web site? It means
that the single most effective way to
attract traffic to your web site is to
add relevant content, such as How-To
Articles, White Papers, and Case Studies.
You've probably got content like this
lurking in congratulatory emails, or letters
filed somewhere in your office. Maybe it's
still in your head or on the minds of your
employees. If it's anywhere but your web
site, it's not doing your business any good!
Let Toolie help you get content
off your mind and into cyberspace where it
can attract new business.
What about Blogging? Newsletters?
Autoresponders? Should you be
communicating regularly with your
customers? How do you know? Who do you ask?
Toolie can tell you!
Let Toolie help you figure out what
you need to make your Internet presence
effective for you and your customers.

Together We Can Find YOUR
Valuable Content
Toolie is offering two specials

that will help you determine the
content you need. It also includes a

content, including blogging,
autoresponders, and newsletters, if
appropriate.
This valuable service, worth $249,
is just $189 per site for

isn't your gift, no worries! Toolie
can "interview" out of you or your
employees the
writing projects you
need completed. Toolie is skilled in
finding, collecting, designing, and
delivering the kind of how-to
articles, white papers, and case
studies that will have visitors
