Local Artists Exhibit at Jones Library's Burnett Gallery

Theresa Rock and Caitlin Waugh, two local artists, are showing together at the Burnett Gallery in the Jones Library from December 2- 30, 2007. The artists will be in the gallery during the Amherst Artwalk, Thursday, December 6 from 5pm-8pm and on Saturday, December 8 from 2pm-4pm.

Caitlin Ezell Waugh graduated from Hampshire College in December, 2005 with a BA in Sculpture and Literary Journalism. She spent the year after college as an apprentice glazier at Luminosity Studios in Waitsfield, Vt., and continued to travel in Latin America. Waugh moved back to the Pioneer valley in January of 2007 in order to set up her studio and focus on her career as a stained glass artist.

In the Burnett Gallery December exhibit, entitled ‘Flight’, Waugh will display a flock of three-dimensional hanging glass landscapes. Small, simple and geometric, these hanging pieces create dynamic spaces and backdrops across which tiny silouttees of birds fly.

You can see some of Waugh’s other work at caitlinwaugh.com Theresa Rock is a painter in Pelham, Ma. She enjoys the freedom painting gives her to develop and experiment with organic forms. This show, Of Earth and Sky, represents her work from the past two years. All of the paintings are extracted from natural elements. The older works in the series have more concrete forms, while the most recent are a purer form of organic abstraction.
