Mary Pat Wallen: “Imperfectly/Perfect”
August 22, 2026 - November 29, 2026
East Gallery
Mary Pat Wallen’s work portrays their personal journey through life. It is messy. It consists of multiple layers of what the world might see as mistakes, but Wallen sees as beauty. It is seeing the beauty among the rust and corrosion of humanity. To not view the holes or rusty crevices as decay, but rather, opportunities to let your soul shine. Wallen likes to call it controlled chaos, a yin and a yang, or better yet, their WABI-SOBI moment.
