Willie Green-Aldridge has her work in the bank, literally. Several works by the Holly Springs artist were recently purchased and placed in the newly opened branch of Capital Bank. Make that four contemporary abstract paintings to be exact.

“I love it when corporations see the benefit of artwork and the positive impact it can have on their business,” says Green-Aldridge. At a First Friday art opening in Raleigh earlier this fall, Green-Aldridge met Grant Yarber, President and CEO of Capital Bank and other top level executives. She says, “This shows they play an active part in the local community.”

Local artists Cathy Martin and Rocky Alexander also have their artwork at Capital Bank. To see Green-Aldridge at work, stop by for a free painting demo at Jerry’s Artarama on Saturday, December 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. Jerry’s Artarama is located at 3060 Wake Forest Road in Raleigh.
