SEMINOLE HEIGHTS -The Glass Onion sits amid greenery, lush and alive,

separated from nonstop Nebraska Avenue by a few feet and a fence.

Inside the co-op art gallery and venue, windows are bedecked by blown

glass ornaments, walls with abstract art.

 

Upstairs, the owner serves key lime pie, guacamole and salad from a

kitchen that looks out over an organic garden.

 

Downstairs, artists use paint and a canvas, acoustic guitars and an

upright bass to entertain in the gallery, where guests learn yoga and

tai chi.

blower who is passionate about both art and veganism, and has made

this place a magnet for those with similar leanings.

 

" A lot of people in a lot of places are healing themselves of very

serious illnesses by incorporating raw food in their diet, " said 34-

year-old Curtis Whitwam, who teaches raw food preparation classes at

the Glass Onion. " There's a lot of evidence to support that. "
