I have been an artist my whole life. I don’t think there has ever been a time I was not brainstorming a new art concept. Art is a form of non-verbal self-expression. It is cathartic by helping me release difficult emotions and instill healing. When I am working on a project, I am not thinking about all the stresses in in my family life or any work-related concerns. I think the act of doing creative artistic things helps to keep parts of my brain active and to be able to use creativity in all aspects of my life. Importantly, it helps prevent job burnout so I can continue to support my teams with their direct patient care.

a'driane nieves: A Time for Furious Dancing
September 5, 2025 - January 4, 2026
Past Exhibition
A Time for Furious Dancing includes new and recent work by a’driane nieves, a self-taught, interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the interior landscape of the self. Born in 1982 in San Antonio, Texas, nieves investigates the physical, epigenetic, psychological, and emotional effects of trauma—ancestral, inherited, historical, and personal—on identity and behavior. Drawing deeply from memory and emotion, her abstract compositions serve as a vessel for confronting pain and reclaiming joy, offering viewers an intimate visual language of transformation. The exhibition’s title is inspired by Hard Times Require Furious Dancing, a collection of poems by Alice Walker, published in 2010. The book explores themes of joy, sorrow, love, loss, and resilience in the face of personal and global challenges. A Time for Furious Dancing marks the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States.
a'driane nieves (b. 1982, San Antonio, Texas) is a visual artist and writer whose interdisciplinary practice explores the interior landscapes of the self. A self-taught painter, she began painting in 2011 as a form of art therapy during recovery from postpartum depression and a bipolar disorder diagnosis. What started as personal healing evolved into a deeper investigation of emotional suppression and memory.
Influenced by artists such as Joan Mitchell, Cy Twombly, Alma Thomas, and Mary Lovelace O’Neal, nieves works with painting, writing, soft sculpture, and text-based media. Her abstract expressionist approach embraces vulnerability, healing, and nonlinear narratives. Text often appears in her work as fragments—sometimes legible and obscured—reflecting the complexity of self-expression.
As a Black, queer, neurodivergent woman, nieves uses her practice to assert her presence and agency, creating space for others to do the same. She is also the founder of an arts nonprofit and magazine focused on creative access and community building.
Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Consortium Museum (France), Art Basel (Switzerland, Hong Kong, Miami), Frieze (London, Seoul), Galerie Marguo (Paris), Various Small Fires (Los Angeles), Standing Pine Gallery (Tokyo), and BODE Projects (Berlin). Her work is also held in collections across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Charlotte NC - December 27, 2025
Located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte at Levine Center for the Arts, the Gantt is the epicenter for the best in visual, performing and literary arts reflecting the African diaspora.

Sometimes standing up for what’s right means having the courage to blaze your own trail.
Harvey Bernard Gantt grew up in the 1940s and 50s in then-segregated Charleston, South Carolina. As the oldest child of Wilhelmina and Christopher Gantt, he often attended NAACP meetings with his father. It was there, and at the family dinner table with his four sisters, that he began to appreciate the importance of advocacy and the injustice of racial discrimination.
After graduating second in his class from Burke High School in 1960, Gantt left home to study architecture at Iowa State University. In January 1963, after a legal battle that escalated to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, Gantt became the first African-American student accepted at Clemson University. In September 1963, Lucinda Brawley became the first African-American woman to be admitted to Clemson and in October 1964 married Harvey. Harvey Gantt graduated with honors from Clemson in 1965, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and later a Master of City Planning from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
He moved to Charlotte after graduating from MIT, and, in 1971, co-founded Gantt Huberman Architects. A pioneer in blending urban planning with the practice of architecture, Gantt Huberman employed a diverse group of professionals who were charged with designing buildings that encourage community. As a result, the firm has developed some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Charlotte Transportation Center, TransAmerica Square, ImaginOn, Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, and the Johnson C. Smith University Science Center.
While significant, Gantt’s impact on the city extends beyond improving the built environment. He joined Charlotte City Council in 1974 and again broke barriers when he was elected Charlotte’s first African-American mayor in 1983. Remaining in office for two terms, Gantt stood shoulder-to-shoulder with other Charlotte leaders committed to establishing a New South City.
SouthBound Extra: A Preview Of Harvey Gantt Interview
Gantt continues to advocate for equity and equal rights and is often tapped to serve on civic, cultural, and business boards, and to lead philanthropic efforts and community initiatives. In 2009, the former Afro-American Cultural Center opened its doors to a new, award-winning facility and was renamed the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture in honor of Harvey B. Gantt, an American trailblazer.
Naming The Center
When it was first proposed that this building be named after me, I hesitated. Being a man of tradition, I always felt it was more appropriate to name a building or street for someone after their passing, as a way to honor their work. Admittedly, it took some convincing by Board Chair Earl Leake and others. After much processing and discussion with my wife, Cindy, the prevailing factor that led me to say "yes" was that it was for the sake of posterity. I envisioned walking into the building with my grandchildren and had thoughts of others doing the same with future generations. I saw them talking about the sacrifices of many who made Charlotte great, and the enormous history and accomplishments of the African American community. And I remembered my parents and others who served as inspirations to me. I am forever grateful to them for being the driving force and motivation in my life.
I thought about the enormous history of the residents of the historic Second Ward community of "Brooklyn," where the Gantt Center now stands. I hope that those who have already "crossed over" can smile and feel proud knowing that we have not forgotten their sacrifices; how they nurtured, pushed and prodded young minds to strive for excellence. We are forever grateful to them. Brooklyn residents often referred to the old Myers School as the "Jacob's Ladder School." Its skyward stairway was a visible reminder of the importance of aspiring to greater things and a good education. Not just teachers, but an entire community rallied behind the youth, molding bright minds.
That's why I agreed to the naming of the building, and that's why I want you to join me in celebrating our history and the dawning of a new day for all of us. Charlotte is a great community and the Carolinas are a great region. I call this home because the city and community represent all that is symbolic to steadfastness and a "can do" attitude. While our nation and world still struggle with acknowledging and appreciating our differences, the Gantt Center can serve as a vehicle for people to come celebrate African American art, history and culture. Residents and visiting friends alike will have numerous opportunities to enjoy all aspects of Levine Center for the Arts. The Gantt Center will serve as one of the entry points to experience the arts, sporting events and many other amenities that Charlotte has to offer. Thank you for your interest in and support of the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture. May this edifice always stand as a symbol that this community and nation are places where we all "belong".

The Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for PhD students at the Ross School of Business of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (BOMSI2019). The lead faculty were Ryan Buell (Harvard Business School), Stephen Leider (Ross School of Business, University of Michigan), and Jordan Tong (Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison). From the website, "The inaugural Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for PhD students will be held June 10-14, 2019, at the University of Michigan, Ross School of Business in partnership with the Center for Value Chain Innovation. The conference is co-sponsored by the business schools at the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Support for this event is also being provided by Harvard Business School's Technology and Operations Management Unit. The 1-week intensive summer institute is designed to provide PhD students who are interested in behavioral research a solid foundation to conduct behavioral operations management research. Additionally, we hope that the summer institute will encourage collaboration and the creation of a research community among the next generation of researchers. Each day of the institute will include morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will provide a general overview of BOM, review core behavioral economics/psychology topics, and discuss OM applications. Afternoon sessions will be focused more on small groups, practicums (e.g., applying ideas to actual research activity), and roundtables (more informal discussions). There will also be free time to prepare for the next day, have office hours, pair up to work on ideas, and hang out!" Pictures from the sessions taken over the week.
A highly zoomed pic of Poppa up in the Pine tree watching me as I approach the box-I did not open it.
The last few days I have seen something rather extraordinary. I have not seen the Mother bird since before the eggs hatched. I have seen a juvenile male from one of the earlier two broods hanging out with Poppa AND helping feed the nestlings. I have now seen him got to the box with food over a dozen times. And he and Pop chatter at each other. They perch together on the feeder pole and junior follows Pop everywhere.
I have tried to capture a picture of him at the box but, my zoom is puny and I have to stay far away or they will not go to the box to feed the nestlings. I am able to view the box from our deck with the binoculars and have watched with amazement.
I will keep trying to get a shot of this. It's quite remarkable as one of my Flickr Birder friends has confirmed.

This behavior is unique to Gray whales in their calving lagoons and only occurs when a whale approaches a stationary boat under the direction of a trained operator and naturalist. No persons should pursue whales or dolphins to simulate these encounters. WDCS supports responsible whale and dolphin watching.

A thorough history in conjunction with the physical exam is crucial to help determine the difference between a patient who is potentially hypothyroid vs. a patient who has a different disorder, such as cognitive dysfunction. If the client reports a behavior change in their dog, the technician should use a behavioral history questionnaire to help rule out other behavior disorders.
Students move their name each time the misbehave. Green stands for a great day. Yellow is a warnig. Blue is a loss of recess. Red is parental contact or office slip.
Understanding kitten behavior
To understand kitten behavior and kitten body language, you should know that not only does your kitten use her mouth to talk to you, she also speaks through her eyes, ears, tail, body posture, and even her scent. Felinese is like any other foreign language:
