TERESA SILVESTRI’S “ART & THE ANIMAL,” AT THE PORTOLA GALLERY IN MENLO PARK. The Portola Art Gallery presents “Art & the Animal,” an exhibit of new animal watercolor paintings by Belmont resident Teresa Silvestri. Silvestri’s inspiration comes from humankind’s longtime companions — the animals who share our homes and are part of our families, as well as the sentient beings that populate our wetlands, forests and yards. The artist is best known for her paintings of rescued rabbits, by which she raises awareness for shelter and rescued animals in need of adoption. Portola Art Gallery is located at Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road in Menlo Park. A public reception for the artist is scheduled 1 p.m.-4 p.m. March 10. “Art & the Animal” — A Watercolor Exhibition by Teresa Silvestri is on view through March 30.
