f you are reading this column, it is because you likely live or shop in an area defined by the 76092 ZIP code. The magazine you are holding is all about the people and places in the Southlake area. Most of us spend a significant amount of time working, shopping or dining in close proximity to where we live and want to keep abreast of news relevant to that area. That is the objective of this publication: to tell you what is either newsworthy or notable
about the ZIP code defined by 76092. The magazine will publish again in August and December of this year, with plans to go quarterly in 2013. Our flagship magazine, 360 West, takes a broader view in its coverage, because it is distributed throughout the greater Tarrant County area. Now, with 76092 Magazine, we are able to bring you more local news than before, including advertising from businesses that serve this area exclusively.
In this first issue of 76092 Magazine, you’ll find a behind-the-scenes look at Southlake’s first- ever Shakepeare in the
Square production. Texas Creative Arts Academy will bring the comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream to life. We also talk with Connie Cooley, first vice president of the Southlake Historical Society. She literally wrote the book on the city (Southlake, part of the Images of America series) and has a wealth of information about its storied past. For those who have admired the statues in the roundabouts, this issue provides an in-depth look at the motivation behind these works and the artists who created them. A local artist, Deanna Kienast, invites readers into her home—a renovated brownstone in Southlake Town Square that doubles as her studio and gallery. And as much as art, theater and history are vital to Southlake, so are its restaurants. Dave and Mary Garner, owners of Wildwood Grill, have clearly found their niche. Finally, we strive to report all things New & Notable, and have discovered a few hot spots worth a mention. Enjoy!

Spring/Summer 2012 7
oost your family’s culture quotient this summer with Southlake’s first-ever Shakespeare in the Square, an outdoor
performance at the Rustin Pavilion in Town Square. Texas Creative Arts Academy (TCAA) brings this free production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Southlake on Saturday, June 30, at 6 p.m.
One of Shakespeare’s most widely performed plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream hits all the right notes for seasoned theater lovers. For those new to the Shakespeare scene, don’t be intimidated—this isn’t your grandmother’s classic. An all-youth cast of local theater students, ranging from ages 8 to 18, brings the timeless material to a current, connectable level.
Donna Park, executive director of TCAA, explains that for the play to have the widest appeal, director Michael Johnson, a veteran of Dallas Shakespeare productions, is “taking a very light-hearted, contemporary approach so kids can relate.” Actors will perform in comfortable summer attire instead of the tights characteristic of most Shakespearean plays. Plus, as she notes, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy about a bunch of fairies. What’s not for
arts & entertainment

“It’s a great way for all
community members, not
just youth, to be exposed
to Shakespeare.”
—Donna Park, executive director, Texas Creative Arts Academy
The rehearsals begin.

kids—and grownups—to love?TCAA is a not-for-profit theater company that
provides youth with arts education and performance opportunities in North Texas. The cast of youngsters for this summer Shakespearean production is currently in rehearsals, eager for the experience in a new venue.
“This is our first time to come out into the community,” Park says. “The kids are excited about it. It’s an opportunity to perform in a completely different arena.”
To bring this touring production to life, TCAA has enlisted the help of Apex Arts League, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting local artists. Whether it’s music, dance, theater or visual arts, Apex works to make all forms of artistic expression accessible.
Each year, the Apex features performances by such well-known organizations as the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and the Dallas Opera, offering the best in top-quality professional entertainment to the North Texas community.
According to chairman Terri Messing, Apex always has wanted to do an outdoor Shakespearean production. When TCAA asked for its help, Apex was quick to say yes. For Southlake’s Shakespeare in the Square, Apex will help publicize the performance and use its previous experience with Town Square events to optimize the outdoor sound system.
Both TCAA and Apex are hopeful for a large turnout, and TCAA would love to make this an annual event. “It’s a great way for all community members, not just youth, to be exposed to Shakespeare,” Park says.
Start off the evening by grabbing an early dinner at one of the Town Square restaurants before heading over to the pavilion; or, if you prefer, pack a picnic basket and enjoy dining during the show. Don’t forget a cozy blanket or two so your family can get comfortable on the lawn. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you can’t make it to A Midsummer Night’s Dream on June 30, don’t worry—there are plenty of other Saturday night events coming to Town Square this summer. Beginning June 9 and running through the end of July, Arts Council Northeast presents its MasterWorks Concert Series, offering a variety of free entertainment under the stars.
Get a taste of an eclectic mix of performers as the series showcases everything from comedy to country music to a Beatles tribute band. As with Shakespeare in the Square, all concerts are free of charge and begin at 6 p.m.
Arts Council Northeast provides music and theater events in several North Tarrant County cities to cultivate a communitywide appreciation for the arts. Its free MasterWorks concerts allow people of all ages the

opportunity to experience new sights and sounds.If you’re looking for culture mixed with classic

he talks, walks and acts like a Southlake native, but Connie Cooley has lived here only a third of her life. In casual conversation, she can drop historical tidbits both old and older. She can describe how Continental Road was once dotted with horse farms and she recalls the “banner day” of the Tom
Thumb opening. And if you thought she wrote the book on Southlake, you’d be exactly right.
Connie Cooley is indeed the author of Southlake, part of the Images of America series. This valentine to her adopted hometown is filled with black-and-white photographs of settlers and farmers. Southlake clearly is a town she loves. “I really like feeling a part of a community,” she says. “This sense of place, I like that.”
She’s been a part of this community since 1991, when she and her husband John decided the suburb, much smaller and more Mayberry-like then than now, was where they wanted to rear their family. The small-town feel and proximity to DFW International Airport were big draws. They gave up the affluent Park Cities in neighboring Dallas County and migrated to this area of one-acre lots and septic tanks.
The Cooleys have been happy with their move to suburbia. “It was still little bitty Southlake [at the time], and I never looked back, “ she says. “I loved it from the minute I got here.”
Before arriving, Connie experienced a variety of spots on the map. She grew up in Houston before attending the University of Texas, where she met John, her husband of 40 years. After they married, John joined the Air Force, flying F4s. Uncle Sam sent them to Mississippi, Florida and New Mexico before John joined forces with American Airlines.
Connie had always taught English, but while John was based in New York, she ventured into the publishing industry, editing books. Once back in Texas, she worked for a now-major Dallas city magazine; that was 1979, a time when the publication was still in its infancy. “It was a very interesting time,” she recalls. “They had writers who would take on controversial topics.”
Eventually motherhood took over as her happy career of choice. John Jr., now 28, and Nina, now 23, kept Connie busy, as did PTA, committees, activities, substitute teaching and White’s Chapel United Methodist Church. Both Cooley offspring are products of the Carroll school district and have launched productive careers of their own, leaving Connie with time to pursue her own interests. Her 1991 home could hardly be termed “historic,” but it seems appropriate that a statue of Thomas Jefferson beckons visitors to her Monticello dwelling. It seems she can’t escape history, which suits her just fine.
Although she’s recently remodeled the warm home with a very au courant neutral palette, the past coexists nicely within the creamy walls and new limestone floors. An antique desk once belonging to her husband’s grandmother sits

welcoming in the entryway, and the living room features other family heirlooms, including a mahogany buffet, a blanket chest and a dresser. A painting of her great grandparents’ Indiana farm highlights a kitchen wall.
“I do love old stuff,” she says. “We keep stuff forever.”
The same woman who loves antiquing in Round Rock holds a private pilot license and sometimes jets off to visit her daughter in Rome. She says her two great loves in life—besides her family—are history and writing.
No surprise, then, that her recent pursuits have included taking a writing course at Texas Christian University and serving as first vice president of the Southlake Historical Society (southlakehistory.org).
From that sprang the Southlake history book and her swelling knowledge of the town’s past. Ask her about the school district, and she can tell you who the first superintendent was and explain how the Southlake school only went through the eighth grade, so
students graduated from Grapevine High School. Ask her about Southlake Town Square, and she’ll tell you about Fechtel egg farm that was once there. She’ll go on to say how former Mayor Rick Stacy, who grew up in Grapevine, knew what a downtown should be. Ask her what needs to happen, and she’ll tell you about what the Southlake Historical
Society is doing to save the old Carroll school, Southlake’s first public building, built in 1919.
Connie realizes that the 2012 version of Southlake is much different than the city she moved to 21 years ago. Executives transfer in and out. The small school district is now a Texas powerhouse. FM 1709 can boast traffic to rival anything in Dallas. It’s all good.
“There’s just about everything we need right here,” she says. “We’ve thought about moving, but we can’t find a place we like better than Southlake.”

Taking FlightSeth Vandable
Located at Brumlow and Continental, Taking Flight represents the power of
literature. Vandable is a Texas artist known for works that capture the intensity of the
human spirit, and he strives for a balance of human potential with mortality. “The sculpture
represents the power of literature to transport young
minds to faraway places,” says Vandable. “It also symbolizes the impact of education on the future success of our
children while they reach for their dreams.” Notes Messing, “I continue to be amazed by that piece and told Seth so
[during Art in the Square]. It has different looks driving in from
different directions. Because of the position and angle of the
children, the light and shadows are wonderfully varied at
different times of the day.”

he beauty of public art is that it suggests a true cultural hub, generating an artistic vibe that resonates with both visitors and residents. Outdoor displays in significant
spots, such as Southlake’s chosen roundabouts, are often a welcoming glimpse into a city’s soul. The goal — clearly accomplished — was to choose sculptures that would be thought-provoking as well as striking, significant today but with a timeless quality.
The choices were not easy, says Terri Messing of the Southlake Arts Council. “It took a while to make the selections,” she says. ”We probably had at least three major selection process meetings. I think we started out with almost 40 submissions. We wanted the art for Southlake to be of excellent artistic quality, but also to reflect the city, its values and identity. There was also the task of placing each piece in the most appropriate place for its surroundings. That is why Seth’s piece of the children and books sits next to Rockenbaugh Elementary.”
In addition to her Arts Council role, Messing is chairperson of the artist committee for Art in the Square, as well as Apex Arts League. Of the artists responsible for the roundabout sculptures, both Jane DeDecker and Seth Vandable showed at AIS this year. Messing says, “We want to identify our community by the art that we select, but in a subtle way. Not everyone likes art, not everyone appreciates it, but I think there is some understanding that art is the balance.”

Located at White Chapel and Continental, On the Count of Three depicts two young parents in sync, linked by their child, with whom they are holding hands on either side. “I
thought that circle of life worked so well,” says Messing. “We thought it was a great idea…so we had some input in that
one and kind of made a suggestion. Jane’s work is fabulous and she received an artist award of excellence at Art in the
Square a few weekends ago. Her bronze sculptures are somewhat realistic but leave room for the imagination.”

MorningDarrell Davis
Davis is an Arlington artist with multiple honors and commissions, from a vetarans’ memorial in Keller to a black bear monument in Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. He’s widely recognized for his animal depictions in bronze and stainless steel. The grouping of deer in Morning is
reminiscent of Southlake’s northern rural portion. The peaceful, pastoral scene adds a touch of tranquility to the corner of Carroll and Dove.

Jane DeDecker
The Denver-based artist designed these two
sculptures at White Chapel and Dove, as well as
another of the roundabout statues. Lessons We
Have Learned represents multiple generations. The two pieces are positioned across from one another in a wooded setting. With trees planted in between,
each piece has the effect of an intimate surprise. Both
rest on natural stone bases.

Modern P erspective
Contemporary painter Deanna Kienast
Spring/Summer 2012 21
ontemporary painter Deanna Kienast’s exquisite brownstone on Southlake’s Main Street offers a glimpse into her fearless yet refined aesthetic. The self-taught artist—
whose exuberant canvases adorn the walls of luxury homes and hotels around the globe—
recently completed a top-to-bottom renovation of the 3,100-square foot townhome she shares with her husband, Joe.
“We’ve lived in more than a dozen houses, but never for more than five years at a time,” says Deanna. “When we hit the six-year mark here, my husband suggested we change the place up. It’s truly a challenge to redo something you enjoy so completely, but we are in love with the results.”
The Kienasts consulted Dallas-based interior designer Chad Street on the furniture. He also helped with color selection, which may seem ironic considering that Deanna’s artwork typically features a dazzling array of hues. “Only in my paintings do I use color,” she explains. “For years, my wardrobe has been all white and black; I naturally gravitate to white and taupe for the home.”
Street identified the three shades of gray that the Kienasts then used throughout their three-story residence. “Gray is such a calming presence,” says Deanna. The muted hues also make her artwork sizzle and pop on the walls; she treats her home like a gallery, often rotating paintings to freshen the look.
As part of the redo, the Kienasts commissioned new metalwork for the front doors, wine closet and elevator using patterns inspired in part by Frank Lloyd Wright. Prior to moving to Southlake two decades ago, the couple had lived in one of the legendary architect’s Chicago homes.
In the kitchen, the couple replaced their mottled-brown

granite countertops with stunning white marble quarried in New England. Deanna gave the cabinets a grayish wash to complement the new wall color. “Because the kitchen opens to our large living room, I wanted it to disappear in a way,” she explains. The choice of Lucite and chrome barstools, which virtually disappear under the bar, furthered that goal.
A few steps away in the dining room, all eyes naturally gravitate to the massive windows, looking out onto Main Street. Whether entertaining friends or sharing a quiet weekday meal, the Kienasts often find themselves waving to passersby on the street. (“It’s like having a window seat at a restaurant day in and day out!”)
A self-professed loather of lamps, chandeliers or other showy fixtures, Deanna opted for streamlined recessed cans throughout her home. Strategic gallery-style spotlights, meanwhile, help showcase her bold canvases, which she paints in her studio on the third floor. For his part, Joe constructs the frames according to his wife’s specifications; her large-scale pieces often sprawl more than 10 feet wide.
A retired financial executive, Joe also builds furniture; he designed and created the headboard in their second-floor master suite. The couple often retreats to the
Furnishings in subdued shades provide a contrast to Deanna Kienast’s vibrant art.
Patterns for the front doors, wine closet and elevator were inspired in part by Frank Lloyd Wright.

bedroom’s sitting area, which features two handsome Bergere chairs paired with reading lamps (a concession to their shared passion for reading). An abundance of light likewise pours in from the window looking onto the treetops. Deanna’s friends often express envy of her “treehouse” living.
The top floor houses a guest room with a Murphy bed to maximize floor space as well as Deanna’s studio. Joe constructed a huge worktable for his wife, complete with wheels. “I move the table depending on the time of year and the light,” she explains, adding that she often paints on her knees with the canvas elevated. A tarp on the floor manages to keep her carpet pristine.
The elevator comes in handy for moving her giant works of art. Other than shuttling paintings for clients, Deanna says they only use the elevator for suitcases and overnight guests.
“I don’t even keep a coffeepot up in my studio,” she confesses. “That way I’m always up and down the stairs.”
One look at her enviable figure indicates that’s yet another benefit of vertical living.

ildwood Grill is a spot to remember, and not just for its prime
location on Southlake Boulevard and Nolen Road. This comfortable
destination has become a favorite neighborhood retreat for its easy
ambience and mostly local fare and, more recently, its expanded wine-by-the-glass list and Sunday brunch options.
Restaurant owners Dave and Mary Garner have continued to fine-tune their concept since opening in Southlake nearly three years ago. Initially, their goal was to fill the gap between frequently found burger joints and more formal restaurants, hoping to hit a price point and a niche in between and establish their own genre of eatery. Though there were plenty of existing restaurants, “Southlake didn’t have anybody offering Texas-flare food with a neighborhood feel,” says Dave.
They hit the mark on all counts, starting with the comfortable confines. The spot’s deep caramel wood-paneled walls and milk chocolate curved bar banquettes give the space a living room-like atmosphere, where flip-flops and jeans are as common as business attire. The spacious patio is equally enticing.
The menu has a decidedly Texas-centric flare, according to Dave. He believes in keeping it local with lots of color and flavor, as evidenced in sweet potato pancakes on the new Sunday brunch menu and the Dr Pepper barbecue sauce served alongside sweet tea rotisserie chicken, with side offerings of creamy grits with roasted poblano peppers. The full menu ranges from wood-fired flatbreads and smoked pork porterhouse
Dishing with the owners of Wildwood Grill.
Proprietors Mary and Dave Garner

to Wildwood’s signature items of prime hanger steak and wood-fired mac-and-cheese. Wood-grilled salmon with jicama-cucumber salad and tomatillo sauce is a fan favorite.
Noting the dearth of nearby wine bars, the Garners have responded by offering 25 wines sold by the glass, complementing an already ample wine list. The owners collaborate with wine purveyors to include single-serving selections not commonly found, such as the current Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay from Livermore Valley in California. The complete connoisseur-friendly list provides Sommelier Suggestions and larger bottles for groups.
Wildwood’s uncompromising dedication to using fresh ingredients allows for no shortcuts. All recipes are made in-house, including salad dressings, and all meats are fresh, never frozen. “The closest we get to processed foods are the grits,” says Dave. Desserts such as the house-made s’mores are Texas-sized, featuring two giant graham cracker cookies in tall layers with chocolate ganache and charred marshmallows that can quell the strongest sweet craving.
The Garners cater to health-conscious members of the Southlake community by offering spa and gluten-free menus. They’ve partnered with a local weight-loss clinic to host cooking classes with Wildwood Grill’s chef for the clinic’s clients, with recipes co-developed with the clinic’s nutritionist to fit within its stringent guidelines of low-calorie, low-carbohydrate, low-fat, and portion-controlled selections. The next class, May 19, is Grilling with Wood on the patio.
So what else might be in store? Dave hints that healthier recipe components are around the corner. However, he says, “When we tried to remove the Shiner Bock onion rings thinking the patrons did not want fried items, they kept ordering them off the menu so we brought them back.”

In early 1919 the Carroll Common School District was formed from independent
schools near Lonesome Dove and White’s Church, as well as Sams School. The district
was named for B. E. Carroll (shown here), Tarrant County Superintendent of Public
Instruction and a prominent figure of his generation. Today it’s the Dragon logo that’s
widely recognized, as the community continues to rally around Carroll ISD—one of
the top-ranked districts in Texas where school spirit reigns.
