Bernadette C. Waystack

Bernadette Corbett Waystack works primarily in pastels featuring landscapes as well as still life.  She also works in oils and in textiles creating art quilts and fiber collages.  Her favorite subject matter is landscapes, an influence of living in a place as inspirational as Cape Cod.  Her background in quilt making contributes to a textural style, stemming from an attraction to the tactile and immediate quality that both fabric and pastel provide.  She strives for an impressionistic approach attempting to capture the essence, the light and the feeling of the scene.   Her desire is to create a strong sense of place and presence in the work.

          Currently a masters candidate in painting at Savannah College of Art and Design, Bernadette holds a B.F.A. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and has over twenty years experience in teaching.   She is a member of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum; Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod; Cape Museum of Fine Arts; Arts Foundation of Cape Cod; Creative Arts Center and the Cape Cod & Islands Art Educators Association.

Her work has been exhibited in shows with the Cape Cod Museum of Art; Provincetown Art Association and Museum; Pastel Painters Society; Creative Arts Center and the Higgins Gallery at Cape Cod Community College.  She is co-owner of Inner Pearl Studio  in Hyannis and also represented by the William H. Lutz Gallery; Harwich Port.
