Artist in Profile:
Kendra Powell

Nothing says, “I love you” like a woman who starts a dessert business in your town. Kendra Powell, owner of Exquisite Tastes, takes care of us all with dedication to bringing Revelstoke delicious desserts and other savory items.

A former chef at various backcountry lodges, the 29 year old had been in and out of Revelstoke for ten years before deciding Revelstoke was the place. “It blows my mind the way you can network in this town and how supportive everyone is.” Although Kendra wears many hats in the kitchen, her focus is on ‘decadent desserts and fine chocolates’. Kendra has found a unique niche in town and has done many private catering jobs as well as working with local restaurants. “Most places need a pastry chef but few have them. The only option is to buy bulk from out of town distributors.

I can provide that service with much better quality and meet the prices no problem. Plus it’s fresh product.” Who can argue with that?

If you don’t want to commit to a lifetime of jogging after one of Kendra’s catered dessert parties, then just go to Woolsey Creek Cafe, where you can sin with Exquisite Tastes on a much smaller scale.

Emerging:
Glynis Waring

As a kid, it’s hard to know what you want to be when you grow up, but for some people, it is ingrained at an early age. When Glynis Waring started dancing at three years old, it just felt like something she would continue to do for her whole life. Now, at twenty years old, Glynis agrees that the support of family and peers in pursuing a career in the arts is important, “But,” she adds,
“if you have love for it, follow the passion. If it sparks something inside, you have to go with that.” The strategy seems to work as this talented lady has won two scholarships thus far; the Okanagan Zone Scholarship and the B.C. Main Stage Award. This year Glynis will attend Grant McEwan College for a two year program in Musical theatre.

“My whole family has always been into the Arts, but I am the first to pursue it”. For more info on this and other scholarships offered for performing arts, visit www.theatrebc.org.
