ARTISTIC JOURNEYS: INNA CHERNEYKINA AND JAN PRISCO AT THE PORTOLA ART GALLERY IN MENLO PARK. In December and January, The Portola Art Gallery presents “Artistic Journeys” — a joint exhibition of oil and pastel paintings by Inna Cherneykina and Jan Prisco that includes colorful still life and landscape scenes from the artists’ collections. Inna Cherneykina, of Foster City, is a painter and 3D game artist. Art for her is an exploration of the intricate interplay between the world and human mind in its most beautiful form. The still life compositions and landscapes she paints are reflections of this enigmatic entanglement of mind and reality. They fuse together the real world, her vision of the world and her emotions brought to life by beautiful flowers or by gorgeous sunsets. Jan Prisco is an award-winning pastel and oil painter. She is best know for her vibrant, colorful paintings of local scenes, from San Francisco to the Monterey Peninsula. In addition to exhibiting her work at Portola Art Gallery in Menlo Park, Prisco teaches other artists at Filoli and several other locations. “Artistic Journeys” — a joint exhibition by Inna Cherneykina and Jan Prisco is on view from Dec. 1 until Jan. 31, 2019. A reception for the artists is scheduled 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. Dec. 8. Portola Art Gallery is located at Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park. For more information call 321-0220, www.portolaartgallery.com.
