New Works By Rebecca Doughty & Sandra Jones Campbell August 15 - 27  The William-Scott Gallery is pleased to present new works by Rebecca Doughty and Sandra Jones Campbell.  Doughty’s intimate works revolve around a cast of animal characters.  Executed in oil on panel, their narrative quality is at once endearing, humorous, as well as darkly mysterious.  Sandra Jones Campbell’s densely populated canvases explore the leisure activities of their colorful subjects.  Painted in a bold, expressionistic style, her works portray hedonistic party and beach scenes. An artists’ reception will be held on Friday, August 15th from 7 to 9pm.   Reminiscent of children's storybooks, cartoons and beloved stuffed animals, Rebecca Doughty creates a complex and evocative world featuring a cast of psychologically charged animal characters. Both playfully humorous and strangely dark, her deceptively simple imagery touches upon our joys and fears, our fondest and most painful memories, while exploring the various adventures, journeys, challenges, and predicaments of modern life. Doughty's work has been exhibited widely in galleries and museums throughout the east coast, including the Allston Skirt Gallery in Boston, the DeCordova Museum, the Fuller Museum, Massachusetts College of Art, Mills Gallery at Boston Center for the Arts, and The Drawing Center in NYC. She has received awards from the Blanche E. Colman Foundation, the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, and the Artists Foundation, Boston, and a “2002 Best Show Award” from the International Association of Art Critics, Boston.

She has received awards from the Blanche E.
