Bonnie Lambert
Land and light are constantly in a dance, and we are partners in that dance. When I paint, my goal is to fully capture the joy that this ever-changing interplay between the light and the land moves in me.
Then I hope my work communicates this ecstasy.
My creativity is given a boost taking long walks with my wonderful rescue dog Scout while photographing L.A.’s dramatic shifts in light. I also enjoy freelancing as a book and magazine designer.
I studied at The Art Center School of Design in Pasadena (Mary Yanish, Mark Strickland, Ray Turner, and David Limrite), and with Glassell Park oil painter Judith Amdur and acclaimed Chicana artist Margaret Garcia.
My oil paintings have been shown in juried exhibits at:
• Avenue 50 Gallery — Highland Park
• dA Gallery — Pomona
• Fremont Gallery — South Pasadena
• NoHo Gallery — North Hollywood
• Casa 0101 — Boyle Heights
• El Centro del Pueblo — L.A.
• ChimMaya Gallery — East L.A.
• The Beverly Hills Art Show
Artist’s reception is Sunday, March 3, at noon.

"Wonderful World of Sing: Harmony, Vocal Color and Movement for Everyone"

Once again vocalist Moira Smiley joins us to present an afternoon of singing and fun. The workshop is free to church members and friends but you must sign up in advance. Please email your request to office@uusm.org to be put on the list.
Moira travels the world-wide network of choral music to create joyous, deeply musical singing experiences. She has traveled and listened widely, and has always been drawn back to the power of the folksong, body percussion and harmony. Moira's articulate and gentle approach will have you singing with full breath & relaxation, and your ear sharpened for style & timbre! Moira quickly gets a group singing by ear as well as by music reading - you will experience four-part harmony, singing in other languages, improvising and moving. Repertoire includes folk / new music of Eastern Europe, Appalachia, Americana, Irish/Scots, and Moira's compositions.You do not need to prepare in advance - just come with open ears and your voice, in whatever shape you find it!!
