Painter Kathy D. Miles-Morgan is showing her paintings at Caffe Driade on Franklin Street during the month of March. She studied art at UNC and is a realist who loves nature themes, as well as portraits and abstract art. Kathy works in other media, including hand-beading and crocheting jewelry.

Painter Jamie Nervo is the featured artist for March at the Open Eye on N. Greensboro Street in Carrboro. Her work depicts life’s everyday events and characters with a twist, masking the harsh realities of life and focusing instead on the positive and light-hearted issues we encounter each day. Jamie studied art at the Fashion Institute of Technology in N.Y. and fine art at Old Dominion University. Another painter, Kal Fadem, will exhibit his work in the Side Room.

13th Annual Piedmont FARM TOUR

Stanley Hughes of Pine Knot Farm.

Where can you ride the Eggmobile or the Mulchmobile; buy fresh produce, meat and cheese; learn about sustainable farming; or see cows, fainting goats, ducks, llamas, donkeys, sheep and even UNC mascot Rameses? The answer, of course, is the 13th annual Piedmont Farm Tour, sponsored by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20.
