“Buried Secrets”
Kim Shoemaker Starr and Diane Kelly Runyon collaborated on a book which has taken them places they never imagined: Louisville to accept an Emmy for a video about their findings, construction sites to view remains of bodies, and exit doors shown to them when they tried to do presentations about their book in Upper Arlington. We are thrilled to welcome both of them: the investigator and the author of Secrets Under the Parking Lot – The Pleasant Litchford Story. Their book will be available, credit card payment only.

Artist/Creativity Statement
Since the time of Homer, the Greeks have been master storytellers. They created images in the listeners’ mind and depicted them on classical pottery. For them nature and mankind were intricately bound with many myths stressing the need for humans to treat nature with respect and humility. Born and raised in the shadow of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, I follow the traditions of my ancestors.
Biography
In a career spanning over 30 years, I have been an award-winning editorial illustrator working with major national newspapers Including 22 years as a visual journalist for the Columbus dispatch, cover illustrator for Yale University Press Anchor Bible series and in a variety of magazines and historical publications. My work has been used for national and regional nature conservancies in promoting awareness and celebrating conservation successes. It is part of the National Hellenic Museum’s permanent collection in Chicago, and the Dominican Sisters of Peace Martin De Porres World Outreach Center permanent collection in Columbus, Ohio.
I am currently working on a solo exhibition for the Columbus Cultural Art Center for August 2022 called Daughters of Athena.
