Aging & Metabolic Health: 3 Month Premium Protocol
$80

Starting bid

Valued at $180 Optimize your cellular health and maintain your active lifestyle with a premium three-month supply of Elysium Health's Signal.


Designed in partnership with leading scientific researchers, Signal targets the root causes of metabolic aging. As we get older, our metabolic function and cellular energy naturally decline. Signal is designed to target metabolic aging at the cellular level by elevating levels of a key metabolite, NAD+, which declines universally with age, and by activating processes involved in supporting mitochondrial health. Mitochondria are central hubs for metabolic reactions and produce ~95% of the cell’s energy.


Perfect for the health-conscious individual looking to protect their long-term vitality—whether that means keeping your edge on the tennis court, playing 18 holes at UNC Finley, or simply feeling energized and balanced while enjoying everything the Triangle has to offer.


What's Included: A three-month supply (3 bottles) of Elysium Signal. Formulated for daily use to support cellular energy, mitochondrial health, and metabolic function. Invest in your long-term wellness and bid today!

Mark Hewitt Apprentice Pitcher
$50

Starting bid

Valued at $100. Mark Hewitt is an award-winning Chatham county potter noted for his finely-crafted stoneware. This vintage ceramic pitcher in pristine condition was created by apprentice James Olney of the W.M. Hewitt studio, as verified by Hewitt Pottery.


Olney is known for his beautifully proportioned functional wares. His work from this era represents a great intersection of North Carolina's traditional pottery heritage and his early development into a celebrated contemporary ceramic artist.


James Olney apprenticed at Mark Hewitt's Pittsboro studio from 2002 to 2004  (often stamped with the WMH studio mark alongside his specific jto apprentice stamp). He earned the title of Master Potter upon completing his rigorous three-year stint. Because Olney has gone on to build a highly prominent solo career as the founder of Oak Cliff in Dallas, Texas, his historic apprentice work carries distinct collector appeal.


The pitcher measures 7 1/4" high. Hewitt apprentice pieces are valued at $75 to $150 by the collector's market.

Still Life in the Stiff Style by Rachel Campbell
$1,500

Starting bid

Retail Value: $5000. An original 36"x30" oil painting by artist Rachel Campbell.


“I want to visit the places Rachel Campbell depicts. These are real places . . . But something about the way Campbell depicts them renders them absolutely magical, at once true to how they exist in real life, and yet utterly dreamy and luminescent. How fortunate that she has the technical ability and generosity of spirit to have expended the effort of translating them onto painted canvas for us all to see. The hope then is that her vision can color ours, encouraging others to see the wonders she sees out there.”

— Lori Waxman, Chicago Tribune Art Critic


Utilizing vibrant colors, Rachel Campbell captures quiet and at times intimate depictions of commonplace landscapes and interiors.


Campbell is originally from New Zealand and has been living in the USA since 2003. Her work is in private and public collections in over a dozen countries.


"'Most importantly of all, my moments are playful. I am influenced by artists who invoke playfulness as a core tenet within their aesthetics—Henri Matisse, Paul Klee, David Hockney, Laura Owens, and Jonas Wood. But real play does not come easily. I conjure play from the cracks of a world that can be hard and even abusive. Such play is supremely important. It grounds our joys and our hopes.'" – Rachel Campbell.

Rachel Campbell's solo exhibition 'In Plain Sight' opens at Craven Allen Gallery, Durham, on November 14, 2026 (opening reception 5–7pm) and runs through January 16, 2027 — a chance for prospective collectors to see her work in person at 1106 1/2 Broad Street, Durham.

Barn Quilt (signed and dated)
$50

Starting bid

A barn quilt takes the concept of a quilt square, just like one you would find on a cloth quilt in your home, and recreates it for the outdoors. Created on a 2'x2' exterior plywood board framed in copper foil, this modern geometrical design is made of solid colors that compose a simple pattern of squares, rectangles, and triangles. The bold colors, size, and graphic features of the barn quilt can be seen at a distance when hung on your barn, fence, garage, house or shed.


These pieces are handcrafted and take many hours over several weeks to create, so that they will stand up to outdoor use, but at 2'x2', they are also great for porches, dens, etc. as well.

Retail Value: $100
