MENLO PARK, Calif. -- The Portola Art Gallery presents "Folk Art
Painting" and "Cutting Edge Creations" - a joint exhibit by painter
Terry McMahon and woodworker Chris Toulson.
Terry McMahon is a retired art teacher from the Menlo Park school
district. She has traveled and lived around the world, and her art work
is influenced by her collection and love of folk art from the places
she's visited. She combines a strong sense of design with a bold use of
color, and she gravitates toward sculptural shapes and forms. She
enjoys rearranging or redefining forms, whether in architecture,
plants, animals, or people. Most of her work is imaginative, while some
is decorative and even fanciful. Her current exhibit features colorful
folk-art-style paintings of women from around the world, along with
bold abstract, still life, and landscape paintings inspired by her
travels.
A retired Silicon Valley software engineer, Chris Toulson learned the
basics of woodworking from his Dad while growing up near Montreal.
Working out of his garage workshop in Palo Alto, he enjoys making
intricate designs that also have a practical side. He specializes in
using wood to create optical illusions in end-grain cutting boards and
small boxes. His current exhibit features walnut, cherry, and maple
creations.

A reception for the artists will be held on Saturday,
March 9, from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M.
