Lawson’s abstract, textural paintings are inspired by transformation. “The breakdown of architecture and place, the evolution of culture, the way water flows through the earth inspire me to capture their essences and create art somewhere between representational and abstract,” she says.
Lawson and other South Bay artists will open their work spaces on Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. To see an interactive map of artist locations and view a gallery of the participating artists, visit at https://svos.org.
CPR class
Santa Clara County Fire Department staff will teach a hands-only CPR and AED class on May 22, 10-11:30 a.m., at the Quinlan Community Center, 10185 N. Stelling Road in Cupertino. This training class is open to individuals who live or work within the communities served by County Fire, including Campbell.
Participants will learn how to perform high-quality compressions on an adult, child and infant, use an automatic external defibrillator (AED) and aid someone who is choking. They will not learn breathing (head tilt, chin lift) in this class.
Participants will not receive a two-year CPR/AED certification, but they will receive a pocket mask and travel first aid kit.
