Two new exhibitions featuring a range of local artists are opening through Mar. 14 at WCCG. “Outside the Box” includes works by Peter Loose, Leigh Ellis and Michael Pierce. Loose is an artist who channels his love for nature through painting. The former naturalist’s work depicts primarily animals using a dot-punctuated style. Ellis similarly combines nature and art in her work, often painting birds, landscapes and flowers. Pierce uses found objects and repurposed materials in his work, channeling his free spirit into his sculptures. “Two Fold” is an exhibition featuring works by Amanda Burk and her father Jack Burk. Jack is a former public school art teacher whose vibrant works have been shown widely across Athens. Amanda, who considers him to have been her art teacher growing up, is an accomplished printmaker and muralist who has taught her craft in Athens and painted for businesses like Automatic Pizza, Paloma Park and more
