Abstract:
Chip Holton has created sketches, landscapes, watercolors, portraits, murals and sculptures and had built houses and designed buildings. Twenty years ago he met Dennis Quaintance, an hotelier from Greensboro who owned the Proximity Hotel and the O. Henry Hotel. When he was building the Proximity in 2006, Quaintance hired him to do all the artwork for the rooms--500 works of art--to be finished by summer's end. When he finished, Holton was hired to paint for the O. Henry and given the title Artist-in-Residence. To date, he has completed over 800 works of art for Quaintance.

Abstract:
Greensboro Artist William Mangum captures the heritage of the state in a book he calls Carolina Preserves. Recognizing that a way of life was fast disappearing, Mangum sought a way to combine stories and images of the state's heritage. He asked forty-eight North Carolinians to write essays discussing what influenced their lives, work, and spiritual centers. Mangum then created individual art work to accompany the writings. The book took three years to complete and contains 130 paintings.
