Local impressionist artist Kristen Olson recently conducted a “Paint the Garden” workshop at Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, where her “Clas-sic California” landscapes are on exhibit through March. Painters, from

beginners to advance, worked in the guild’s outdoor gardens in the style of the Impressionists. Inspired by her grandmother, Ms. Olson has been painting since she was a child. At school, she says, “kids were asking me to draw them a horse and I would give (the pictures) away.” Her parents, who were musicians, wanted her to become a violinist. Instead, she followed her passion for painting. She was introduced to California landscapes when she visited her grand-mother in Auburn, California. Her grandmother would take her on hikes in the Sierra foothills, and they would sketch and paint together. Studying music and playing musical instruments influenced how she sees rhythm in nature, she says. “Music, nature and art are (as) alike as they are different,” she says. One sees “rhythm in the way the breeze blows across water, the way things grow, how trees are aligned, and how clouds move.”

The artist, she says, has to “be a silent observer of nature to take it all in and transfer it to paint.” Ms. Olson, who lived in Hawaii for 21 years, moved to Palo Alto a year ago. A local artist introduced her to Portola Pastures ranch on Arastradero Road and it has become one of the most inspiring landscapes for her, she says. She describes the area as tranquil, majestic and stately. Comparing her work in Hawaii with that in Califor-nia, she says her palette is now “much warmer; the scenes are less repetitive.” She has painted people, but prefers landscapes. “When com-municating with people, it’s easy to feel emotion, and it’s harder with something with a tree or landscape,” she says. “You have to see the world differently. You have to isolate yourself in order to see beauty.” Local realist painter Tara Norwood, who takes classes

from Ms. Olson, says she “has a wonderful way of explaining things that really breaks down the fundamental components of painting. For me, where I was, it was a blessing to find this class and her teaching, and now I am a devotee.” Ms. Olson’s work has “a liveli-ness and character that is unique,” says Ms. Norwood, “They’re not photo-realist. They are very loose and expressive. That’s something I want more in my work.” A

NOTICE IS GIVEN that the District Board of West Bay Sanitary District will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. The hearing will be held in the District’s Board Room located at 500 Laurel Street, Menlo Park.

The purpose of the Public Hearing is to consider a proposed increase in sewer services charges for fiscal year 2013/2014. Additional information is available through the District’s website (www.westbaysanitary.org) and on the official notice that was mailed to every parcel address that pays District rates.

The annual sewer service charge will increase from $752 per single family residence to $820 in fiscal year 2013/2014. Approximately 60 homes in the Portola Valley area (located within the On-Site Wastewater Disposal Zone) who pay higher charges for the maintenance of the STEP or Grinder Sewer Collection Systems they require will increase from $956 per single family residence to $1,042 in fiscal year 2013/2014. Non-residential rates will increase proportionately. The increased charges are required to fund needed maintenance to the sewer system and to the South Bayside System Authority regional wastewater treatment plant.

Cafe Zoe hosts student exhibit Cafe Zoe, a popular hub for caffeine- and community-loving locals, has added another dimension to its offerings of international f lavors: Art by students of the nearby German-American International School (GAIS). The artwork by students from kindergarten through eighth grade will be on exhibit through March 31 at the cafe, 1929 Men-alto Ave. The private school and the cafe are neighbors in the Willows area of Menlo Park. “The children’s artwork is such a joy visually, and we look forward to the energy and excitement it brings to the cafe community,” Cafe Zoe owner Kathleen Daly said in an announcement from GAIS. The exhibit provides more than visual joy to the cafe com-munity, however. “Students tru-ly see themselves as artists when

they see their artwork displayed in a public place,” according to Maike Silver, the GAIS staff member who coordinates the exhibit. “They develop self-esteem and confidence in their own abilities to create art and in forming partnerships with the community.” Go to cafezoemenlopark.com for cafe hours.

Fremont Older home and garden tour Free tours of the historic Fre-mont Older “Woodhills” home and garden will be conducted Sunday, April 14. The home is located in the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve on the urban fringe of Cupertino and Saratoga. In 1914, Fremont Older, an unconventional newspaper edi-tor, and his wife, Cora, an author and historian, moved into the home designed by architect Frank Delos Wolfe. The Olders hosted many liter-ary and political guests in their home, including Jack London and Carl Sandburg. In 1975, the Midpeninsula Open Space District purchased the property and the deterio-rating house was scheduled for demolition. Newspaper pub-lishers Mort and Elaine Levine wanted to see the journalistic legacy of Fremont Older and “Woodhills” preserved. They were granted a long-term lease and have restored the house and re-designed the grounds with drought-tolerant and native landscaping. The Levines, former owners of the Almanac, still live at “Woo-dhills” and the home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Reservations for the annual tour are required and accepted on a first-come, first-served basis by calling the district office at 691-2153.

PROTECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

If it has been 5 years since you filed your Fictitious Business

Name Statement (your D.B.A.), you must file again to protect

your legal rights. Check your records now to see if your D.B.A. expires this year.

Then call the Almanac, 326-8210, for assistance in refiling. It’s inexpensive

and easy.
