Bonnie Lambert's SoCal Cityscapes
The Opening Reception for SoCal Cityscapes by Bonnie Lambert will be on Sunday, February 2 from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm in Forbes Hall.
Lambert is a California Expressionist Oil Painter. You will likely recognize the locations of some of her paintings. The exhibit will be open every Sunday in February from 9:00 am until 12:30 pm and on weekdays by appointment and will run through Sunday, February 23. The reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
In the artist’s words: “I’m a cityscape oil painter in love with intense color and deep contrast. The fluid light, dramatic vistas, stark landscapes and energized urban neighborhoods of Los Angeles provide endless inspiration for my work. I paint with a vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes to share my vision of an essence of the urban experience.
“I’m drawn to the tension between nature and the hand-of-man on the city. I ask the viewer to observe situations so common that we experience them unconsciously; to see places and objects in a new light, and to consider that they are rich in meaning and beautiful.”
Lambert earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and she was a professional actress for nearly two decades. In the early 1990s she studied art for two years at The Art Center School of Design in Pasadena before she met her mentor–museum-collected, Latina artist Margaret Garcia–in 2009. Since Lambert’s first solo exhibit in 2011, she has exhibited widely in SoCal galleries and museums. Her theatrical background lends a natural celebration of drama and mystery to her work.
Contact our Art Director, Beverly Alison, for further information about this show.
For weekday appointments or information about the church, contact the church office: Cyndee at assistant@uusm.org or 310-829-5436 x102
On Sundays, follow the signs to UU Church Parking, which is in the hospital parking structure on 16th Street. Handicap parking is available behind the church.

Hinduism is the oldest of the world’s major religions and it has grown to encompass a vast diversity of traditions, scriptures, philosophies, and practices. The Third Source of Unitarian Universalism is: “Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life.” This Sunday we will begin our exploration of this ancient wisdom and its great influence on our liberal religious tradition.

Love is an overused word. How can my mother, my lover, and mac and cheese all be objects of my love? Some writers say love is a verb and without right action there is no love. Others say love is an ideal that can never be realized. Whom or what do you count as your Beloved? Are your Love Languages what your Beloved longs to hear?

She works with non-profits and faith-based organizations around the country helping them address issues of leadership, communication and cultural competence.

Spiritual exercises can open us to the numinous and bring profound meaning to our lives. We can encourage our own spiritual growth through practices which keep us in touch with our highest selves, community, and that which we hold to be sacred. As a multireligious tradition, we are all free to adopt practices which we find helpful and sustaining. Join us this Sunday as we explore these exercises of the spirit.
