She has taught and led community-based art projects through the Ohio Arts Council, community arts centers, schools, art museums, and many other organizations. She has created artwork for commissions (including for the Taft Museum of Art and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital), and exhibited her artwork made with many media and approaches including, painting, textiles, and installation, in the midwest (including at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center), and occasionally other parts of the country and the world.

    Leslie Getz Good art is not about matching your sofa, but about the conversation it starts. Artists, by nature, are emotional people. It is the driving force inside us that compels us to create art. I have always created artwork that was based on trying to create images for things I cannot see but wish to understand: the soul, what makes us who we are, and emotions.  Trying to give an image to what I was feeling or looking for or wanting to better understand.   Figuring out how to make the intangible tangible is a problem that I can solve only through my artwork. When creating a new series, the best thing to do is to draw something...anything, to get yourself moving.  Chuck Close once said, "I drew myself because I was the only one in the room". My current series is inspired by John Lennon’s “Imagine” lyrics…particularly “and the world will be as one”. Color, size, shape, preferences don’t have to keep us from living as one. What makes us different is what makes us beautiful. If you are too afraid to be different from the world, how can you make a difference in the world. Using my platform as an artist, my hope is that my artwork will encourage people to be genuine even if they stand out and to embrace and celebrate each other’s differences. Only then will we be able to live as one. -Leslie Getz Education: Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography and Drawing, College of Mount St. Joseph, Cincinnati, OH, 1995 Masters of Arts in Education, College of Mount St. Joseph, Cincinnati, OH, 2002 Awards: Honorable Mention, "Delectable", D'Art Center, VA, 2023 Honorable Mention, "51st Hamilton Current Regional", Fitton Center, OH 2023 Best of Show, "The Golden Ticket", Clifton Cultural Arts Center, OH, 2022 Honorable Mention, "Regional Art Exhibition", Artlink, IN, 2022 Honorable Mention, "50th Hamilton Current Regional", Fitton Center, OH, 2021 Best of Show, "Soul Searching", Grosse Pointe Artist Association, MI, 2020 Best of Show, "Animals", Pop Revolution Gallery, OH, 2020 Best of Show, "Movement", Pop Revolution Gallery, OH, 2019 John Nartker Award, Studio San Giuseppe, OH, 2019 Moderator: Grosse Pointe Artist Association artist forum for "My Favorite" 2022 Grosse Pointe Artist Association artist forum for for "The Challenge" 2020 ​ Publications: RISE: Empower, Change and Action!

  • Tai Chi with Rick Warm

    $5.00 – $30.00

    Tuesdays, 9:30 - 10:45 a.m.

    Tai chi and qigong are complementary traditional Chinese arts that help to improve one’s health, vitality, and wellbeing. Tai chi is a series of gentle flowing movements based on martial arts. Qigong is a mind/body exercise that helps stimulate “elemental life force.” In this class, we will focus on the basic forms of traditional Yang tai chi and in particular the Yang 8 step form. Over time we will begin to explore the Yang 16 step. Both of these forms are excellent preparation to practice the longer Yang 24 step form. We will also learn the Ba Duan Jin, a simple qigong form. Both the tai chi and qigong forms can be performed standing or seated. In addition we will explore some of the philosophy and basic principles behind these arts.
    • Ages: Adults ages 50+
    • Session: 
      • Fall 1: 5 weeks (September 12 – October 10, 2023)

    • Instructor: Rick Warm
    • Cost: $5 per class; $25 for 5-week session and $30 for 6-week session
    • Class Location: CCAC @ Immanuel Presbyterian Church (3445 Clifton Avenue, Cincinnati OH, 45220)

    Rick Warm Rick Warm has practiced martial arts including tai chi for 40+ years. His study of tai chi and qigong has become more serious and focused over the past 10 years, and he is a certified instructor from the prestigious Deyin Institute in the UK. Rick is also the director of the Center for Wisdom and Leadership. 
    Though the crux of Rick's work has centered on leadership and the development of wise leaders, for the last decade Rick has also focused on  wisdom in “second half of life,” the midlife transition, and in particular what it means to be an elder. Rick has taught classes and run seminars and workshops on the topics of wisdom, spirituality and aging. He also  leads a number of Elder Wisdom Circles around the city. Elder Wisdom Circles are groups of older adults, generally in retirement, that gather weekly to discuss such topics as conscious aging, spirituality, and the journey towards wisdom. The circles gather to learn from each other, encourage lifelong learning and growth, and discern how they can make a difference in the world – small or large.

    Uri Sella Uri grew up in Israel where he served in the Israeli army and studied law. Upon graduation he clerked on the Israeli Supreme Court and in 1994 moved to New York City to start a career as a corporate lawyer.
    In New York he discovered a passion to express himself with paint. Twice a week, after a long day in the office, he would shed his suit and tie and travel downtown to attend Jack Potter’s evening classes on drawing and composition at the School of Visual Arts. Several years later he decided to abandon the practice of law and joined his wife in Cincinnati. Upon the birth of his first child he became a stay-at-home father. He also studies and teaches tai chi.
