(More)About this blog: I grew up in Menlo Park and have long been involved with both local journalism and local theater. After starting my career as an editorial intern with The Almanac, I was a staff reporter for the Almanac and the San Mateo County Times, covering local government, cops, health/science and many other beats. In 2005 I made the move to the arts desk at the Palo Alto Weekly. A&E is close to my heart because of my experience in the performing arts. I've been acting and singing in Bay Area theater productions for years, and have played everything from a sassy French boy to a Texas cheerleader. In Ad Libs, I blog about the exhibitions I see, the artists I meet and the intriguing new projects and trends I see in the arts world.

* I'm kind of a Eurail girl, but there's something appealing about Jerome Peters' "Old Trucks" series of paintings. A Palo Altan and retired firefighter, J.P. has done acrylics of fire engines and helmets but now gravitates toward Chevys and Fords. He has a new show opening April 1 at the Portola Art Gallery in Menlo Park.
