UUCM is welcoming a new North Wall Artist! Artist Patricia Sorenson celebrates the immediacy and luminosity of the medium of pastels in her show, “Looking for the Light” on display now in the North Wall Art Space. While Patricia comes from a family of creatives, she took a different path and became a registered nurse before exploring making art in the midst of the pandemic. Her work shows the delicate luminescence of light in the landscape.

An ethos of minimal waste permeates the entire creative process of our new North Wall Art, Erik Jon Olson. Using quilted plastic waste as his medium, Olson creates works that deal with the effects of consumerism, mass consumption and unfettered capitalism. By layering environmental issues with social justice messaging, his art emphasizes our alienation from the environment and each other. Erik will be here at UUCM next Sunday, September 15 for a “meet and greet”. He’s eager to share his message and methods with us.
