Meet the Artists May 3-4 and May 10-11 During 2014 Silicon Valley Open Studios; Local Nonprofit Mission Hospice & Home Care to Benefit from the Event
Menlo Park, Calif. – Six award-winning Peninsula artists -- Alice Weil, Teresa Silvestri, Julia Munger Seelos, Lynn Montoya, Kim Holl and Frances Freyberg -- will exhibit paintings, jewelry, textiles and fine art photography in Menlo Park during the 2014 Silicon Valley Open Studios. The free event will take place the weekends of May 3-4 and May 10-11, from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. at a group site at 856 Partridge Avenue in Menlo Park. Visitors are encouraged to come speak with the artists in person and see their latest works, all in one convenient location.
This event is part of the 28th annual Silicon Valley Open Studios, where hundreds of local artists open their studios to the public during the first three weekends in May. This unique event is open to the general public, art enthusiasts, art collectors and investors, and art students. Open Studios allow visitors to discover new artistic talent or get up close and personal with favorite artists.
The artists will be generously donating select artwork to a raffle to benefit local nonprofit Mission Hospice & Home Care. In addition, photographer Frances Freyberg will be donating all profits from the second weekend’s sales to Mission Hospice. Founded in 1979, Mission Hospice provides quality, compassionate end-of-life care to patients and families in the San Mateo County area. The nonprofit is committed to serving all patients – regardless of their ability to pay – and relies on donations from the community to support its programs. https://www.missionhospice.org.
About the Artists
Alice Weil of Menlo Park finds peace painting under the shade of the mighty oaks as they grace the golden hills of the Stanford property and outlying areas. Her paintings reflect the power and strength of the Bay Area landscape, omitting the hand of man in her paintings. Inspired by the fog laden hills, and passionate about the feeling of the paint on canvas, Weil wants the viewer to be taken away to a quiet relaxed place in her paintings. https://www.aliceweil.com
Teresa Silvestri of Belmont is an award-winning watercolor artist whose works are inspired by her love of animals and nature. From her realistic commissioned pet portraits to her whimsical pieces featuring animals, she is best known for capturing the expression, personality and essence of her subjects by their eyes. Her representational painting style is known for its softness, utilizing many layers of washes and glazes. https://www.silvestristudios.com
Julia Munger Seelos of Redwood City creates dynamic works in oil, from rural farms set against the California hills to the rocky coast. She will be participating in this year’s Carmel Art Festival, the Los Gatos Plein Air Festival, Napa Valley Art Festival and has been invited to participate in the Celebration of Art at the Grand Canyon. Seelos has won numerous awards including best oil in the Santa Cruz Statewide Show and the Laguna Plein Air Painters “Best of Plein Air.†She is a Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society and the Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Association. https://www.juliaseelosgallery.com
Lynn Montoya of Redwood City handcrafts jewelry using natural stones accented with crystals and sterling silver. An expert in wax-casting, hand wrought work and beading, Montoya strives for a “feng shui†design in her jewelry, balancing color, shape, weight and materials. http://www.etsy.com/shop/crystalynstudio
Kim Holl of Portola Valley paints primarily “en plein air†outdoors and "alla prima" when working on studio paintings. Both techniques require the artist to identify and capture ideas by simplifying the motif to its essential compositional components. To accomplish this simplification, the three main elements she works with are massing of shapes, direction of light and properties of color. Recently, Holl has begun to apply her painting experience on textiles. http://www.kimholl.com
Frances Freyberg of Menlo Park specializes in vibrant color portraits of people, wildlife, nature and architecture from her travels to more than 60 countries. This year’s event will feature photos from her 2013 trips to Japan, the UK and Ireland. Her photos may be found in galleries and private collections worldwide, as well as online at https://www.francesfreyberg.com. During the weekend of May 10-11, Freyberg will donate her net proceeds to local nonprofit Mission Hospice & Home Care, to support patients who cannot afford care.
