MENLO PARK, Calif. -- The Portola Art Gallery presents “Friends and Family,” a collection of oil and pastel portraits of people and animals by Linda Salter.

Throughout the years as an executive in community colleges, Salter carved out time to paint portraits. Now devoting herself full time to painting, she still considers portraits her first love.

Explains Salter: “I enjoy painting a variety of subjects from plein air landscapes to classical still lifes, but portraiture remains my favorite. I love the challenge of capturing the essence of the person sitting with me.”

Salter works primarily in pastels and oils, and she has exhibited and received awards at community and college art shows. She has also exhibited solo at Avenue 25 Gallery in San Mateo and Esalen Institute in Big Sur.

Salter spent more than three decades as an instructor and administrator in California colleges, serving as president of Skyline College in San Bruno and chancellor of West Valley-Mission Community College District in Santa Clara County. Since retiring as chancellor more than a decade ago, Linda has studied with a number of local and visiting artists. More information about her artwork is available online at http://www.lindasalter.com

A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, April 13, from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M.
