For the last several years the wall has been the responsibility of the Faith in Action Commission. The commission authorized Charles Haskell to supervise the selection of art for the Gallery Wall last year and again this year. He has chosen a variety of photographs and posters serving to illustrate the wide range of witness and advocacy programs of interest to the members and friends of our church. Calling All Artists: |

Art Wall Oct 2003Carol MatlowCarol Matlow grew up in the Los Angeles area and pursued her pictorial art studies at UCLA. A love of travel and the raising of a family delayed the completion of her schooling. It was years later that she obtained her degree from UCLA in art history. With this vast knowledge from an art history perspective, Carol felt a yearning to once again hold a paintbrush and see what would emerge onto the blank canvas. She has been painting ever since. Carol paints intuitively, and avoids the logical functionality and organizational dictates of everyday life. |

Art Wall Oct 2005Ken MarshArtist's statement: "As a 1960s art-schooltaught painter, I learned about the taking of creative actions to see where they would lead me as opposed to mastering techniques that would help me reach a predetermined goal. "My work still reflects a preference for process and exploration as opposed to production and product. I paint, draw, printmake, do video, and paint with performing musicians. |

Art Wall Opening Reception |
Experience the world through the eyes of adults with developmental disabilities.

Lisie Y. artist statement: “Drawing and painting come hard to me because I am legally blind and I cannot create the images that I want to make. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be weaving or embroidering. I used to say “I can’t do it” until sewing staff told me to just try it and now I’m loving it. I feel accomplished and proud to be able to do weaving.”
