New branch office showcases local artwork representing area's roots

Raleigh, N.C.—Dec. 9, 2008- Continuing the tradition of featuring local artwork in branches, paintings from three local artists are on permanent display at the new Capital Bank branch in Clayton at 12701 U.S. Highway 70 West. Participating artists are Doug Strickland, Steven Gibson and Nicole White Kennedy. "The paintings portray local landmarks and represent the spirit and people that highlight the town's personality," said B. Grant Yarber, president and CEO of Capital Bank. "We are proud to join the Clayton community and look forward to contributing more to this thriving area."A member of the Visual Art Exchange in Raleigh, Strickland has received multiple accolades for his work including the Award of Merit at the 2008 Clayton Art Faire. His work on display at Capital Bank includes "Clayton Main Street" and "T.R. Lee Service Station, Clayton," both of which are oil on canvas. Since retiring in 2003, he has devoted more time to his craft of painting and drawing after a career in social work. . .
