Art by Lisa Goldstein Lisa Goldstein is an artist specializing in pet portraits. She is an Exhibiting Member in the Orange County Artist Guild as well as a member of the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission.

From Lisa: Pet portraits make wonderful gifts, commemorating the life of a pet or just celebrating all that they give us (unconditional love!). To create a pet portrait I can often work from your own photo, or I can come out and take photos for a small additional fee. Pet portraits bring a meaningful, playful piece of art to a home. You can see my work and other subject matter on my website: www.lisapgoldstein.com.

Snap Pea Catering My guess is you probably never considered having a small dinner party catered. What if it allowed you to actually spend time with your guests, consisted of unforgettable food grounded in local, seasonal produce, and was surprisingly affordable? Or what about offering a catered party as a gift using our presentation quality gift certificate?

After graduating from Stanford University, I started Snap Pea Catering to help people host memorable events with incredible food, without the hassle of planning a menu, shopping, cooking, and cleaning. We have catered dinner parties for people ranging from faculty at Stanford and Duke to groups of Google employees. We are completely flexible in our packages and menus, offering everything from innovative plated multi-course meals to buffets of traditional Kosher Jewish comfort food.

Find out why Marc Bellemare, Professor of Economics at Duke says: "I could not have been more pleased with my choice [of Snap Pea Catering]. From the quality of the ingredients used to the taste of the dishes served and from the amazing service and the beautifully typeset menus, everything was top notch. Snap Pea Catering gets my highest recommendation."
