Osprey, stained glass window

2016

Osprey shows us that we can survive deep emotional waters. Osprey encourages us to dive deeply into creativity and draw forth that which serves us. Osprey reminds us to go boldly after what we want. People connected to the Osprey totem tend to have impeccable timing, particularly in taking opportunities, and they treat themselves and others with a great deal of respect. When we maintain integrity even when we don’t agree with or enjoy another person, we honor the medicine of Osprey. Osprey emphasizes the healing power of the sun. Osprey is an omen of success and profit, and, in dreams, signifies the return from a journey or a rising in position. If the Osprey is in contrary, when we are fighting it or find it sick, it is a sign that we are fighting authority or that our boundaries are out of alignment. Meditating with Osprey can help us see through illusions, identify boundaries, connect with the moon and the sun, and navigate complicated emotions with clarity. — in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I was raised in an old farmhouse in Maine, surrounded by plants, tools, animals, community, tumbling rock walls, and a quiet barn full of friends’ forgotten belongings. Those aesthetics translate well to the decay and growth of New Orleans; my work is at home here in the Deep South.

I am a sculptor, preserver, and historical restoration artist. I explore decay, vulnerability, growth and time through the treatment of glass, found objects, light, and plant material. I run my restoration and design business, Paraph, from my home studio in the 7th ward. I use traditional glass techniques inventively.

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College with an intersectional focus on sculpture and literary journalism. I returned to academia in 2022 to get her MFA in glass sculpture at Tulane University. Concurrent with the graduate program I was awarded a community-engaged Mellon fellowship, which offered an opportunity to more fully integrate my studio practice with my social justice commitments. My dream job is to be a sculptural journalist, and I am diligently working to forge that path.

Please contact me about preserving wedding flowers (or any plant important to you) in glass, custom orders welcome! See more at caitlinwaugh.com and on instagram @caitlinezellwaugh
