Coastside studios are open this weekend and next

This year, Silicon Valley Open Studios focuses on San Mateo County and the Coastside on May 20-21, from 11am to 5pm both days.  Some studios on the Coastside will be open this weekend as well.

Several members of Jennifer Almadova’s watercolor painting classes, which are held at the Train Depot (below the Johnston house) through the HMB Park and Rec dept, are participating in Open Studios. 

Jennifer Almodova is a remarkable teacher. Although she lives in San Rafael, she has a devoted following of students in HMB and other areas, and also teaches online classes in graphic design for the Academy of Art in San Francisco. She was represented by the Erikson Gallery in HMB before it closed. Jennifer will be demonstrating on Saturday, May 22 at the Bell Building on Kelly Avenue in Half Moon Bay, which has been rented by a large group of her students to show their recent work.

Two advanced students, Susie Farber and Margaret Radford, will be showing their watercolors at the Train Depot on May 20-21. 

Marina Salume will show art quilts and watercolors in her home at 419 Correas Avenue in Half Moon Bay on all three weekends (May 6-7, 13-14, and 20-2). Free refreshments will be served at all three locations.
