Resident Artist, Caitlin Dunn

Caitlin Dunn has been a Resident Artist at the Red Brick since 2018. Having studied metalsmithing at SACI in Florence, Italy, Caitlin skillfully crafts her pieces by hand. Her designs are understated elegance, making them the jewelry you want to wear every day!

Caitlin shared with the Red Brick an inspiration quote that is relevant to our collective experience of COVID.  In addition, Caitlin shared images of two of her latest projects - a wedding ring and a Maroon Bells belt buckle.

Quote: "And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.” - Kitty O'Meara
