A Visual ‘Story of Castro Valley’ on Display at CV Library

Enjoy a preview of Azar Vaghefi’s visual “story of Castro Valley” on display in an exhibit of her paintings at the Castro Valley Library through the month of March. Five of these images will be installed on Castro Valley utility boxes and banners this spring. “I am fortunate to live in this beautiful town. Lake Chabot and its incredible wildlife are extremely inspiring to me,” she shares. Deer, squirrels, foxes, owls and blue herons are featured in these works.

Azar is a local artist and ceramist. She and her family immigrated from Iran in 2005, choosing Castro Valley as their new home.  She and her husband raised two children here.  Her daughter is an award-winning artist working for Pixar Animation.  Azar has become an active member of the local art scene. She is currently the vice-president of Art Inc., a member of American Pen Women and teaches two on-going art classes through HARD.  On May 18, Azar will conduct a monoprint demonstration at the Adobe Art Center. The public is invited to this free event. To see more of her work, check out her website: www.azarvaghefi.com.
