To Patricia Gwilliam Ziegler painting is her lifelong personal journal, a visual expression of her relationships and experiences, interpretations of memories that linger in her heart beyond words. Family, parenting, marriage, as well as the simple moments of every day are her inspirations. To Ziegler the act of painting is like vivid dreaming.

“The plaza was hopping all (last) weekend with families and kids and the elderly,” said Vice Mayor Stephen Burke. “It was really vibrant, and if we think back to this ordinance being addressed in 2015, the Depot was on life support entering a moment of real uncertainty. A lot has changed in our town, and the policies you’re putting are a recognition of that change. You’ve really hit your stride, and I trust that you’ll do the right thing,” Burke said to Howe.” “The intent is not to make Mill Valley into the Greek Theater,” Carmel said. “There is definitely a Mill Valley vibe. It’s not a loud rock n roll thing – just lively on the plaza. How do you bring vibrancy into downtown. We don’t control rent, but we can do certain things about how to make downtown vibrant.”

Lewis recently put out the second edition of her book, The Indisputable Gift of Men (DreamSculpt Books), which spawned from finding herself in the midst of the most joyful, heartbreaking, and empowering romantic encounters of her life after years of hearing women, including herself, complain about men. She calls the book “a collection of intimate stories that invites you to unlock caustic, emasculating, judgmental conversations around dating and relationships.” She says she hopes that women who read it will release resentment, increase gratitude, and multiply enjoyment of and with men. In reaching a bountiful moment in her career, Lewis acknowledges plenty of bumps along the way and says she’s thriving because of and not in spite of those challenges.
