Welcome to the Battle!
Are You Ready To Rumble
It is time to Battle for Cattle! After months of
exhibition, the cows are finally ready for auction.
CowParade North Carolina was an exciting event
for our region and state. Eighty cow canvases
were whimsically transformed by regional artists
and placed on display at universities, museums,
store fronts, outdoor malls, restaurants, banks
and entertainment venues throughout Raleigh,
Durham, Chapel Hill and beyond the Triangle
in cities such as Fayetteville, Garner, Greenville,
Knightdale and Wilmington. We are proud to have
been the host state for this free, family-friendly
event which captured the hearts of people in
North Carolina.
The CowParade North Carolina live auction
is for a worthy cause—North Carolina Children’s
Hospital. Every year more than 70,000 patients
throughout the state are treated at the Children’s
Hospital, and millions more benefit from the
Hospital’s research and outreach to community
hospitals and pediatricians. With your help we
can raise a lot of mooolah for the health and wellbeing
of our children through the sale of these
cow masterpieces.
Show your love by displaying a cow in your
home or vacation abode. Bring smiles to the faces
of your employees, clients and the public by placing
one in your business or office. A cow can also be enjoyed in your sunroom, garden or around your pool.
Finally, cows can also be donated to your favorite town, school, charity, park or institution.
Thank you for attending the auction and for joining us in support of North Carolina’s children.
Sincerely,
CowParade North Carolina Honorary Co-Chairs

About CowParade North Carolina
CowParade, the world’s largest public art event
stampeded through the Triangle, fall of 2012. Cow-
Parade North Carolina 2012 was presented by Wells
Fargo and featured 80 life-size cow sculptures, all
whimsically transformed by regional artists, professional
and amateur. The stylized cows grazed in
high-trafficked public places throughout greater
Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh.
Cows were displayed in streets, storefronts and
other public places, a virtual free outdoor museum
of cows. The life-sized bovines are approximately 8
feet long and 5 feet high. After transformation, the
artist-rendered cows were given fanciful names fitting
of their designs; including Alexander Moo-lian
Bowvine, Cow House, Sock Mookey, CowBot, and
Nesting Cow-dinal
CowParade North Carolina 2012 presented by
Wells Fargo attracted thousands of visitors to the
Triangle during the three-month exhibition. The
Battle for the Cattle auction will benefit N.C. Children’s
Hospital.

Lot #12. Green Pastures

want.” Psalm 23 portrays God as a shepherd, feeding and leading
his flock.
Lot #13. Lily Cow
Artist: Jane Wade. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina. The traditional
lily pad in repose seems like a perfect fit for a grazing cow.
Nothing like a contented cow. The gentle ripples of water lap out
from the center where an unseen frog has just plopped in.
Lot #16. Moo Hydrangeas
Artist: Leslie Salzillo. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. “Overlapping each
other, on a kitchen table, in a big empty jelly jar, hydrangea

Lot #14. Lotus Cow
Artist: Georges Le Chevallier. Sponsor: Quintiles. The Lotus Cow

friends.

Artists: Michelle California-Aguiar and David Aguiar of CAN Decorative Painting, drawing provided by Molly California.
Sponsor: Quintiles. “Our cow design was inspired by a recent trip to Africa by our niece, Abby. Her photos of the
Maasai were stunning. The jewelry in every photo originally caught our eyes, but that was only the beginning. The
fabrics, the intricate beadwork, their kind smiling faces, were all our inspiration. When we discovered through
some research the importance of cows in their culture, it was decided we would create a Moo Sai Warrior Cow.
— Michelle California-Aguiar and David Aguiar

Lot #18. Night-N-Day
Artist: Helen Seebold. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina. “My
artistic body of work is greatly inspired by nature and ancient
cultures and I have combined these two influences to create
“Night-N-Day.” Drawing from the influences of Chinese brush
painting and Ukiyo-e, the Japanese term for “floating world.”
I have created a sunrise scene on one side of the cow and a
crescent-moon night scene on the other. A stylistic, shadowed
tree weaves through the sun and moon beams over a body of
water to create a contrast of vibrant colors and texture that I
hope will intrigue the viewer.”—Helen Seebold
Lot #19. North Cowalina
Artist: Earle Kluttz-Thompson and Raines Thompson of Kluttz-
Thompson Designs. Sponsor: BlueCross BlueShield of North
Carolina. “One side of this cow is loosely based on a vintage
postcard, which includes the North Carolina state flag, bird
(the cardinal) and flower (the dogwood). The other side is a
map of North Carolina that indicates various landmarks, sites
and activities from around the state where we were both born,
raised and continue to call home.”— Earle Kluttz-Thompson and
Raines Thompson
Lot #21. Patches
Artist: Aiden Kenny. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. “The patchwork design
represents traditional country/farm life as both the gentle cow
and an old patchwork quilt were things commonly seen on a
farm in the past. Hopefully, we will continue to see them on
farms in the future as we go back to healthy, natural, farming
and humane animal care methods.”— Aiden Kenny
Lot #22. Sea Cow
Artist: Matt O’Neal. Sponsor: Reelin’ for Research. North Carolina
is rich in maritime history. In the last 30 or so years, a vibrant
commercial fishing industry has given way to an even more
thrilling sport fishing industry. A favorite catch on the reel
and for the table is the mahi mahi or dolphin. They roam the
pelagic zone with other predators such as marlin and sailfish
in search of tasty morsels like the flying fish that can leap out
of the water and “fly” great distances on lift generated by their
well-designed pectoral fins. This cow’s sale will benefit Pediatric
Oncology at N.C. Children’s Hospital.
Lot #20. How Now coffee cow
Artist: Burritt “Bucky” Benson and John Luster. Sponsor: Capitol Coffee Systems and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. We just
wanted to do something fun to help out the kids and something that would let everyone’s imaginations soar. Small patterns
form animals and faces and decorate How Now Coffee Cow’s hide.
Lot #23. Sunset with Full Moon
(& flock of birds)
Artist: Emily Eve Weinstein. Sponsor: Johnson
Lexus of Raleigh. This rendition represents

come alive.
Lot #24.
The Cow is Greener on the Other Side
Artist: Warren Anthony Hicks. Sponsor: Johnson Lexus of Durham.
“I’m an abstract painter and saw the cow as a 3d canvas. I knew
it would be a challenge moving from 2d to 3d. It’s the same as a
belt maker switching to shoes, which both come from cows.”
—Warren Anthony Hicks

Lot #27. PeeDee
Artist: Margaret Sink. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. “Pee Dee
is a depiction of the East Carolina University pirate
mascot. The cow sports the purple and gold school
colors and pirate hat. The hat and facial features are
a combination of wood, cardboard, fabric and lots of
fiberglass and bondo. This design was inspired by a
co-worker who attended ecu.”— Margaret Sink
Lot #25. RaMOOses
Artists: Earle Kluttz-Thompson and Raines Thompson
of Kluttz-Thompson Designs. Sponsor: Wells Fargo.
“This design is based on “Rameses,” the unc mascot
which, as alumni, is especially near and dear to our
hearts. The building of Ramooses’ horns was quite
the learning experience for a pair of mural painters.”—
Earle Kluttz-Thompson and Raines Thompson
Lot #26. North Cowolina State Woof
Artist: Mary Stone Lamb. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. This
cow mirrors his hero, Mr. Wuf, by wearing a red
turtleneck sweater. However, in place of Mr. Wuf’s
jaunty cap, Woof dons a mortar board to show his
academic bent. In the transition from cow to wolf,
the cow’s horns were removed and a bushy tail
added, the hooves were traded for hairy paws and
the ears transplanted.

The team of artists at Johnson Auto Body Shop in Durham
created the fierce warrior cow “Moo-cules” using Stargazer
black paint, which is a color available on the Lexus rx’s. “Moocules”
is also adorned with Daybreak Yellow Mica accents,
normally found in the paint on the Lexus ct 200h’s. Lastly, the

brilliance only seen when the sun hits “Moo-Cules” at just the
right angle.
Lot #33. Gratitude Cow

and Duke Children’s Hospital.
Lot #31. Viva Los Toros
Artist: Ann Sarno. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina. Bravery,
boldness and creativity are qualities necessary to become a

innovative citizens.

get lost in the sort of abstract composition.
Lot #34. CowBot
Artist: Elijah Leed, Michael Lupa, Jackie MacLeod and Mike
Waller. Sponsor: Morgan Imports. The cow is covered in

Lot #37. Durham Traveler
Artist: Freeman Beard. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. “This cow, Durham
Traveler, depicts parts of Durham from the general to the specific.
I know important areas will be left out, but I am trying for
a general Durham feel. My family planned to stay in Durham
two years but stayed 40 years because of the wonderful people
here and the great city it has become.”—Freeman Beard
Lot #38. Franklin
Artist: Rachel Campbell. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. A stylized depiction
of Franklin Street and surrounding areas, including Morehead
Planetarium, the Old Well, the Bell Tower and the unc
Pit, among other things.
Lot #40. Cowpernicus*
Artist: Beth Janeway Hallyburton. Sponsor:
Golden Belt. “Cowpernicus pays homage
to the genius of Renaissance astronomer
Nicolaus Copernicus reflected in his
work “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly
Spheres.” I used his depiction of circular
motion of the planets around the sun for the
center of the cow and his idea of a field of
fixed stars attached to an immovable sphere
for the rest. I strove to combine science and art
as a reminder of the blinding beauty that surrounds
us all.”—Beth Hallyburton
Lot #41 Inside and Outside the Beltway
Artist: Teresa Prichard. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. “The Belted Galloway
cow was inspired by trips to Fearington Village in Pittsboro
when my children were younger. I wanted to represent the
three distinct geographical areas of North Carolina.”
—Teresa Pritchard
Lot #42 La Catrina*
Artist: Jenn Hales. Sponsor: Howard Merrell and Partners. La
Catrina is inspired by the Latin celebration, Day of the Dead,
covered in bones and flowers.
Lot #39. Lady Carolina Bloo
Artist: Paula MacLeod. Sponsor: UNC Health Care/Rex Healthcare. This is a cow made for N.C. Children’s Hospital using
materials donated from Vietri ceramics. It features iconic unc symbols and colors. Over 160 hours worth of work went
into this masterpiece and it is accented with special “hidden” figures taken from Vietri patterns. A truly one-of-a-kind
piece, special to our region!
Lot #43 Dogwood Blossum
Artist: Amy Veatch. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. She is covered with
dogwood blossoms and leaves, her background is a blue sky.
The artist loves dogwood trees and flowers and imagined the
design first as a blanket of roses on a winning racehorse, then
translated that to the cow.
Lot #44 Moonhay
Artist: Rhea Ormond. Sponsor: The Dairy Farm Families of North
Carolina. “Monet has always been one of my favorite artists. I
went to France to study his color theories. I decided to paint
hayrolls in Monet’s style on the cow with the focus being light
and color.”—Rhea Ormond

Lot #45 Mootalic Cow
Artist: Michelle California-Aguiar and David
Aguiar of CAN Decorative Painting, drawing provided
by Molly California. Sponsor: Quintiles. “The
Mootallic Cow—we love this finish. This is all
about fun, not taking ourselves too seriously,
yet creating a very clean, professional look that
highlights (literally) our creativity and skill.”
— Michelle California-Aguiar and David Aguiar
Lot #49. Bovine in Black and White
Artist: Hilary Clement. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina. Black
vines elegantly wrapping around a white cow, this design was
inspired by china figurines.
Lot #50. Bull Durham
Artist: Rachel Campbell. Sponsor: Golden Belt. Stylized depictions
of Durham’s downtown skyline on both sides of the cow,
which in fact is transformed into a small bull, complete with
nose ring.
Lot #46. Birtha*
Artist: Andria Linn. Sponsor: The People. Designed from an original painting by Andria Linn entitled “Welcome To This
World,” Birtha is about life, love, rebirth and giving. She is wrapped in flowers that have “spirits” bursting out in an array of
colors and energy. There are cocoons entwined in life branches of cherry blossoms that symbolize newness and expectation
for what life’s challenges bring us. The overall representation Birtha brings us is refreshment and joy for life. This cow’s
sponsorship was completely funded by donations raised by the artists through 64 “Birtha backers”—this makes her the first
cow in CowParade history to be sponsored by a group of individuals rather than a company or organization.
Lot #47. Bearden Bovine
Artist: Jim Hunt. Sponsor: Curtis Media Group. “My inspiration
for the Bearden Bovine comes from the artwork of North
Carolina-born artist, Romare Bearden, along with my own
personal love of colour. Bearden’s artwork of collage and mixed
media was a leading artistic concept in the Harlem Renaissance
movement.”—Jim Hunt
Lot #48. Belt-Less Galloway Mechanicow
Artist: Lynn Marie Wartski. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina.
Gear-driven, steam powered mechanical “steampunk” cow. The
name is a play on the Belted Galloway cow breed, also known
as “Oreo Cookie Cows.” This cow has magnificent accents of
glass and metal.
Lot #51 Grace’s Cow
Artist: Greg Carter. Sponsor: The News & Observer. “A big doodle for Grace. Creativity is play when we are children.
Somehow, somewhere, we lose the ability to play, and with it, the access to our creativity. Many of us freely give up
both for fear of how we might be perceived by the world at large. Others extinguish it when they are introduced to the
“adult skills” of judgement, suppression and intolerance. Still others fear it for the “impulsive” or “uncontrolled” labels
that they have learned to associate with the “creative person.” Creativity, and its embodiment in play, is none of these. It
should be judged only for the fruit that it bears: the delight of the unexpected.”—Greg Cartel

Lot #52. The Milky Way
Artist: Jenn Hales. Sponsor: Johnson Lexus of Raleigh. Our galaxy
spins around as a cow jumps over the moon.
Lot #53. St. Augustine Monster
Artist: Jamie Wolcott. Sponsor: Quick Moves Inc. In 1896, a giant
octopus washed up on shore in St. Augustine Florida. The
remains of the octopus measured nearly 42 feet in length and
weighed 5 tons. They called it the St. Augustine Monster. Here,
the St. Augustine Monster rises from the waves, taking hold of
a hapless schooner…dragging it into the briny deep.
Lot #58. ConfettiCow
Artist: Debbie Martz. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. “Confetti Cow is
the ultimate in fun! She is covered with an iridescent purple
zebra pattern. Her contrasting confetti stripes are created from
crayon shavings. I felt inspired to create this cow design when
I rediscovered a favorite bookmark I made with my children
many years ago by sandwiching crayon shavings between clear
packing tape. This happy memory of creating with my children
and my ultimate love of purple and zebras came together in one
“udderly” fantastic cow.”— Debbie Martz
Lot #59. The Dreamer
Artist: Scott Harris. Sponsor: Law Offices of James Scott Farrin. This
bandana wearing Bessy is a born and bred city cow, although
it’s now dreaming of the wide open spaces of the homeland.
Through art, the Dreamer has decided to begin the journey
away from all the steel and glass of the city and look for greener
pastures.
Lot #54. Show Me the Moo-lah
Artist: Julia Freifeld. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. This cow was on display
at Wells Fargo in downtown Raleigh on Fayetteville Street.
The cow comes in two pieces and is installed in such a way that
it gives the appearance of a cow jumping through a window.
This design really attracts attention and would be a great addition
to a bank, real estate business, restaurant or other retail
establishment. As an added bonus, the installation is included.
Lot #55. Penny,
The Amazing Coin Converting Cow
Artist: Debbie Martz. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. In this economy,
Penny may be our best bet for compound interest. When coins
are dropped into Penny, she miraculously converts spare change
into dollars which she will dispense at your leisure. A large
wooden coin appears to be entering the slot painted on her
back. She is so focused on her job that dollar signs are reflected
in her green eyes.
Lot #60. The 80th Cow
Artist: Erick Davis. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina. The
artist, who has created several public and residential mosaics
in Chapel Hill and Carrboro including the Fire Dragon
Egg at Jessee’s Café, the mosaic boulders at Brier Chapel
and the entryway at Sugarland Bakery, collaborated with
well-known and amazing potter Ben Owen of Sea Grove
for this sculpture, using shards from some of Ben’s seconds
and broken pottery.

Lot #56. North Cowlina, Udderly Amazing
Artist: Matthew Mahler. Sponsor: Wells Fargo. From Murphy to
Manteo, North Carolina is a land of diverse landscapes and
people. North Cowalina, Udderly Amazing reflects this beauty
from mountains to piedmont to coast. The vivid imagery
painted reflects the bold pride Mahler has for his home state.
Lot #57. Poppy Cow
Artist: Leslie Salzillo. Sponsor: CowParade North Carolina. “Poppies
will make them sleep!” goes the Wizard of Oz movie line.
This rings in my ears whenever I see poppies. Trying to capture
their sheer delicate petals, engulfed in rich shades of velvet red,
was not an easy task for me.”— Leslie Salzillo

The property offered in this sale will be offered and sold by the North Carolina Children’s Promise (the
“Seller”). Each prospective Purchaser should consult his own tax advisor for any tax issues. “Auctioneer”
merely serves the Seller as the Auctioneer in conducting the Auction and participates only on the following
terms and conditions (as amended by any posted notices or oral announcements during the sale) which govern
the sale of all the property offered at the Auction:
1 (a) The Seller assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for
the authenticity of the authorship of any property offered at
this Auction (that is, the identity of the creator or the period,
culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the
creation of any cow is identified).
(b) All property is sold “as is” and the Seller makes no representations
or warranties of any kind or nature, expressed or
implied, with respect to the property, and in no event shall
the Seller be responsible for the correctness of the Catalog or
notices or descriptions of property, nor shall be deemed to have
made, any representations or warranty of physical condition,
size, quality, rarity, importance, genuineness, attribution,
authenticity, provenance or historical relevance of the property.
No statement in the Catalog or any notice or description
made before or during the sale, in any bill of sale, invoice or
elsewhere shall be deemed such a representation or warranty or
any assumption of liability. The Seller does not make any representation
or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the
Purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in the property. The
copyright of the property and all related intellectual property of
the cows are owned by CowParade Holdings Corporation and
are not included in the sale of the property. Prospective bidders
should inspect the property before bidding to determine
its condition, size and whether or not it has been repaired or
restored.
2 Any property may be withdrawn by the Seller at any time
before the actual sale without any liability.
3 The Seller and Auctioneer reserve the right to reject a bid from
any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer
shall be the Purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders,
the Auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either
to determine the Purchaser or to re-offer and resell the article
in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Seller’s sale
records shall be conclusive in all respects.
4 If the Auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate
with the value of the property offered, he may reject
the same and withdraw the property from sale, and if, having
acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance
thereafter is insufficient, he may reject the advance.
5 On the auctioneer’s announcement, the highest bidder shall be
deemed to have purchased the offered lot subject to all of the
conditions set forth herein and thereupon
(a) assumes the risk and responsibility thereof;
(b) will sign a confirmation of purchase thereof and
(c) will pay the full purchase price thereof or such part as the
Seller may require.
No storage will be provided by N.C. Children’s Promise/Hospital
after the auction. Any needed storage must be arranged with
Quick Moves if the purchaser does not wish to secure Quick
Moves to deliver their cow. Quick Moves will provide the purchaser
with storage costs associated with storing the cow after
the auction. If the foregoing conditions and other applicable
conditions are not complied with, in addition to other remedies
available to the Seller by law, including, without limitation, the
right to hold the Purchaser liable for the bid price, the Seller, at
its option, may either
(a) cancel the sale or
(b) resell the property on three (3) business days notice to the
Purchaser and for the account and risk of the Purchaser, either
publicly or privately, and in such event the Purchaser shall
be liable for payment of any deficiency, all other charges due
hereunder and incidental damages.
6 All checks should be made payable to: The North Carolina
Children’s Promise.
7 Lots will be offered for sale subject to a reserve, which is the
confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be
sold. Auctioneer may implement such reserve by bidding up to
the reserve on behalf of the Seller.
