Paintings for Lent by Suzanne Zoole


painting of a reliquary by artist Suzanne Zoole

One of the many paintings by artist Suzanne Zoole that will be on display at Kanuga’s Chapel of the Transfiguration, February 13-April 15.

“Churches have historically served as spaces for expression through the visual arts. Kanuga is honored to host this exhibit for Western North Carolina during Lent, a time of reflection for the community,” said Michael R. Sullivan, President of Kanuga.

This winter, Kanuga’s Chapel of the Transfiguration is proud to serve as the location for Reliquaries: Paintings for Lent by Suzanne Zoole. The pieces will be on exhibit February 13-April 15 with an opening reception from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on February 13.

“Churches have historically served as spaces for expression through the visual arts. Art opens us to thoughts and experiences too deep for words. Kanuga is honored to host this exhibit for Western North Carolina during Lent, a time of reflection for the community,” said Michael R. Sullivan, President of Kanuga.

The exhibit features 12 paintings of reliquaries—ornate and embellished boxes which are traditionally created to hold and protect religious relics. The paintings are displayed within the chapel’s transept. In front of the altar is a special piece constructed by the Suzanne’s brother, Roger Amidon. A blacksmith and seasoned craftsman, Roger rendered his version of a reliquary to be a part of this exhibition.

Suzanne’s paintings are images of reliquaries on sheets of masonite. “I thought the unrefined aspect of masonite would make a nice contrast to the gold embellishment that is associated with the fine craftsmanship of the reliquary,” said Suzanne. “I have used acrylic paints throughout with some touches of collage.”

Images on the sides of traditional reliquaries usually portray stories from the Bible. Suzanne chose to select stories from the New Testament. “I illustrated various stories beginning with Jesus’s miracles and ending with a parable,” said Suzanne. “To complete the paintings, I added a background of design and flowers to balance the colors and composition.”

The exhibit is a departure from Suzanne’s usual styles of icon painting and modern art. “Icon painting is a very meditative experience, while modern art is very creative,” said Suzanne. “Creating pieces for this exhibit was the best of both worlds. It was a combination of meditation and creativity.”

“Zoole’s paintings are inviting, expressive, and fresh interpretations of a classical form. I know that our community will appreciate sitting with them during this important time of year,” said Michael.

For more information about the art exhibit or Kanuga, please contact Melissa McGowan, Marketing Director, at mmcgowan@kanuga.org or 828-692-9136, ext. 2822.

Affiliated with the Episcopal Church since 1928, Kanuga is a 1,400-acre conference, retreat and camp center in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Hendersonville, N.C. For more information, visit http://www.kanuga.org or call 828-692-9136.

CBD For The People Is Proud To Offer The First Dark Unrefined Menthol CBD Salve


News Image

CBD For The People was created with the belief that affordable high-quality CBD products can be created while keeping the focus on the individual customer service experience. Transparency and integrity are the core of this company. CBD For The People is putting their customers first and the profits second. By taking care of the people first, they know that satisfied customers will bring back more business to them.

At CBD For The People, all products are made fresh-on-demand for every order. All of their products remain 100% preservative-, chemical-, and additive-free. In this way, the customers can get their CBD in the way nature intended – organic, uncut, and unrefined.

CBD For The People has a vast shop where everyone can purchase their favorite and affordable CBD products. Customers can choose to purchase various CBD products such as uncut wax cartridges, unrefined dark tinctures, uncut CBD wax pods, unrefined dark softgels, unrefined dark salve lotions, battery kits, CBD FTP gear, and more.

The Dark Unrefined Menthol CBD Salve/Topical (Ice) is the newest addition to the CBD For The People’s inventory. This unrefined hemp-derived topical combines the nerves-coated-in-butter goodness of Dark Unrefined full-spectrum CBD with the proven cooling power of peppermint essential oil and USP-grade Menthol. The result of combining these two products is a minty-fresh, powerfully potent prescription-free pain-relief product.

Dark, raw, unrefined hemp extract is used to make the Dark Unrefined Menthol CBD Salve. There are so many nutrients in hemp that work together to maximize effectiveness. Although many competitors create salves using more refined oils, CBD For The People does not use those types of oils. The reason for that is the loss of other cannabinoids, phytonutrients, and terpenes in the products created using more refined oils. Menthol is well-known for working as an antibacterial agent, cryotherapeutic pain reliever, antipruritic, and as a food additive to make things taste minty fresh. Menthol works by triggering cold-sensitive thermoreceptors in the skin, which in turn activates the spinothalamic tract. By combining these two amazing products, CBD For The People has managed to create the best value mentholated CBD topical available on the market.

At CBD For The People, the quality of the products is very important. Their CBD is extracted using supercritical CO2 extraction and every step of the process is multistage lab-tested. Using only non-GMO and organic ingredients, the CBD is carefully checked to ensure that is 100% free of residual solvents, microbiological contaminants, pesticides, and heavy metals.

CBD For The People is proud to offer top-shelf quality products at affordable prices. They believe that CBD should not be about huge profits. They are here to put CBD into the hands of those who need it most, but can’t afford it.

Guardian Analytics® to Attend Western Bankers Association 2020 Bank Presidents Seminar


“With a decade of massive data breaches, conventional KYC and CDD relying on PII data verification to corroborate customer identity and non-real-time ongoing monitoring of money laundering risks are not working anymore…”

Guardian Analytics, the market leader in real-time behavioral analytics and machine learning solutions for banking payment fraud detection, anti-money laundering, and enterprise B2B portal fraud, announced their attendance at the Western Bankers Association 2020 Bank Presidents Seminar. The event will be held at the Four Seasons Resort at the Biltmore in Santa Barbara, CA on January 7-9, 2020.

Guardian Analytics AML and fraud experts are available for one-on-one discussions throughout the event, demonstrating how bank presidents and CEOs can utilize machine learning capabilities to transform their AML compliance operations and increase efficiency while improving efficacy in their fraud investigations. Attendees are encouraged to schedule a meeting in advance here.

“With a decade of massive data breaches, conventional KYC and CDD relying on PII data verification to corroborate customer identity and non-real-time ongoing monitoring of money laundering risks are not working anymore,” said Eric Tran-Le, Co-CEO and Vice President of Product Managment at Guardian Analytics. “Unless you have a flexible KYC form with high-resolution, self-service customizable risk scoring scenarios and real-time CDD, the AML team will be flipping a coin to pick an alert out of +95% false alerts. The outcome is low efficiency SAR to alert ratio and increased money laundering risk exposures.”

Senior leaders of western region banks are invited to attend this premier event which delivers informative sessions and powerful networking opportunities at the luxurious Four Seasons Resort at the Biltmore in Santa Barbara.
