She lives in Palo Alto, California with her favorite husband and snow tigers Sacha and Zara. | Harmony Music Ensemble is a student-run chamber music organization in the Bay Area. The young musicians are members of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music pre-college, San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra, Young Chamber Musicians, Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, California Youth Symphony, and Golden State Youth Orchestra. They are devoted to sharing valuable chamber music opportunities through their projects as well as their student program. | Tony Press writes fiction, when he has questions, and poems when he thinks he has answers; thus, mostly fiction. His short story collection, Crossing the Lines, was published in 2016 and his poetry chapbook, Equinox and Solstice, in 2022. He claims 25 criminal jury trials, 12 years in a single high school classroom (plus 2 years at Paly), and a deep connection with Pop Warner’s old house in Palo Alto. He often claims his novel is almost finished. | Lisa Van Dusen currently serves as Executive Director of the Palo Alto Community Fund She is a certified executive leadership coach and practicing artist. Her art work incorporates drawing, watercolors, wire, text and other media, exploring the quotidian and the big issues of our time with particular regard to connecting across differences. A flower-obsessed gardener, flowers and anything found in the garden are among her favorite subjects. | Sherry Woodward is a self-taught visual artist living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. She works as a commercial insurance broker on the weekdays and teaches an adult art class at the local Golden Moon Studio/Gallery in San Mateo on Thursday nights. She also teaches online, and paints daily. Her work can be described as expressive, colorful and impressionistic. She primarily paints with acrylics and soft pastels, however, she is well-versed in most media. | BeBe has undergrad and master's degrees in architecture from the University of Virginia. With a professional background in architecture and photography, BeBe returns to her love for drawing and painting to explore creativity through the fine arts. She currently teaches Chinese Brush Painting, watercolor, mixed media, photography, and textile art at the Pacific Art League. BeBe also develops and organizes art events for the community. |
