Painting with Fabric
by Rhoda Taylor
UUCS Artist of the Month
"I have tried many art media during my life and found that fiber is the medium for me. I love the fabrics that are available and enjoy putting them together with fabrics that I have dyed, rust printed, and bleach discharged. I feel that I paint with pieces of fabric as I design my artwork. For further information about my work, please contact me at rhodataylor36@gmail.com."

Creating Art...
by Sue Kennedy
UUCS Artist of the Month
"Creating art has always been a way to go to a place where all my attention is focused, where I am at peace. I am fascinated by color and shape and their relationship on a surface. I do not intend to have an idea I am conveying. This frees me to follow no rules. It allows the viewer to interpret what they see."

Photographs from Around the World by
Jody McBrien
UUCS Member Artist of the Month
“To say I have been privileged would be an understatement. I have lived in four countries – the US, Ireland, New Zealand, and Japan – with a fifth, France, upcoming in 2021. And I have traveled to about 45 countries in six continents.”
“Photography is a passion of mine, and I have thousands of photos, from lion kills in South Africa and silverback gorillas in Bwindi to sumo wrestlers in Tokyo and the most delicate of flowers and birds in New Zealand. The most difficult part of this assignment was to narrow my presentation to 10 photographs. I chose these. I hope you enjoy them!”
