Pictures will be on sale with 25% donated to the Friends of Bolin Creek and 25% to the Carrboro Art Committee.From Dave Otto: My appreciation and mastery of digital photography as an art form and communications medium have evolved in parallel with efforts to preserve Bolin Creek. I would like to share my skills and growing body of images of the flora and fauna of Bolin Creek and other places around the world that I have visited, as well as the people who inhabit my universe and perhaps yours. I am passionate about wildflowers and critters that inhabit the woodlands, particularly as seen through macro lens. There is beauty at every turn in the trail, creek or road we are following through life if we simply stop to look. However there is incredible beauty in nature that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but which can be seen readily through a macro lens. http://daveottophotos.com Carrboro Century Center 
Valerie Tan is a self-taught artist who has had a lifelong interest in the arts. She paints with acrylics and oilbars and has developed a naive style using "poster" colors and house/neighborhood themes. She has helped organize art events in Vermillion and has sold paintings locally. After several trials with different mediums and many migraines later she now paints exclusively in Acrylics. Her paintings are also inspired by her reality of being a mother of an eight year old child who loves to read and be read to. The paintings have bright color are more primitive as illustrations may be in a child's book. Artists Statement My work is reflectant of my belief that no matter what age we are there is a child still inside us. The bright colors in my villages, landscapes and backgrounds are the "rose colored" glasses of the world I would like to live in. My art is my escape from the daily stresses of life. To look at my paintings cheers me during the day and brings me as much happiness and relief as it does my family who lives with these paintings on the walls.
