Art in the Library

Kellie Weeks
"Psychological Landscapes”

Kellie Weeks, a Fitchburg based artist, will be exhibiting her work in the Meeting Room of the Acton Memorial Library for the months of January and February.

Weeks uses encaustic—a medium that includes the use of beeswax, resin, and dry pigments. Encaustic is an ancient medium that requires intense concentration in order to get the desired effects. Weeks embellishes her work with additional elements such as metallic leaves, shellac and graphite. The result are colorful abstracts that draw the viewer in to an imaginary world. Her work is powerful while retaining a kind of whimsy. It is the intense use of color that marks her work and will delight those viewing it.

She has exhibited extensively throughout Massachusetts as well as showing in juried exhibits throughout the country, and  is associated with a number of local art groups. Her distinctive style has become recognized and honored.

On January 7, from 1-4 PM Weeks will hold a reception in the Library Meeting Room where she will explain the use of the encaustic method.
