Maureen Patterson

Maureen E. Patterson

Lead Designer/OwnerIf all the world is a stage, I want better lighting!” (yes, she actually has a beer cozy that says this).

Our Lead Designer has been telling stories with light for over 20 years! She is a master of this subtle and powerful medium creating the most fitting atmosphere for high end corporate, social, and nonprofit events of all sizes, along with countless theatrical shows including over two dozen world premier pieces in theatre, opera, and dance.

Patterson brings this wealth of experience and artistic passion to every project. From a simple press conference to an extravagant gala – each show has its own unique needs and challenges. Identifying and addressing the fine points in ways that elevate the event is what makes Patterson tick. Every detail matters.

In addition to superior customer service and cutting-edge designs, Patterson attributes the success of Solus Lighting LTD to a solid network of clients, an ambitious and skillful team of technicians and contractors, and likeminded colleagues with highly specialized disciplines. Expanding and cultivating this network has been rewarding both personally and professionally.

Patterson has served on the Board of Directors for the International Live Events Association Cleveland Chapter, and has been a member of ILEA since 2008. She has been a member of Women In Sports & Events where she has participated as a mentor in their WISE Within program since 2013. In 2016, Patterson was recognized internationally as an Enterprising Woman of the Year Champion, and in 2017 was named the first honorary member of the National Association of Women Business Owners Cleveland Chapter. She was honored in 2019 as both a WISE Woman of Inspiration as well as a Notable Woman in Entrepreneurship by Crain’s Cleveland Business.  A founding member of the Irish Network Cleveland, Patterson is also an active member of Plexus (LGBT & Ally Community Chamber of Commerce), the Kamm’s Corners Development Corporation, and the Ohio River Valley Women’s Business Council.

Mark Alan Gordon has this to say about Maureen:

“What is most astonishing about the artistry of Maureen Patterson is her ability to take the resources of a small professional theatre and make them look as though the budgets were endless. Her craft as a designer is her ability to translate into light the imaginings of a director and the demands of a script.

And her ability to bring her humanity and humor to the demands of a tight schedule and the personalities of various artists makes her a “must-have” to a creative team.”

“I recommend this she-wolf of illumination to you highly.”
-Mark Alan Gordon, Director
