Dave
Otto
has lived near Bolin Creek in Chapel Hill and Carrboro
for 35 years. He retired last March after a career in
environmental health research, in part, to pursue his
passion for nature photography. For the past five years
he has been working with the Friends of Bolin Creek,
a grassroots citizen's group devoted to preserving the
Bolin Creek corridor and adjacent woodlands. He uses
digital photography as a tool to communicate the beauty
and importance-ecological, recreational and historical-of
this place in efforts to educate the public and convince
local governments to preserve this natural treasure.

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 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 primitive colors oftenassociated with illustrations
seen in children's books.
