About the Artist
I work in encaustics - a dimensional, sculptural art form. The process of blending pigment into molten beeswax, then fusing it onto wooden panels creates sensual depth & texture, which directly correlates with the women I paint. I embed found objects into my pieces-petals, branches, scraps of thread or ribbon, occasionally on old sketch. I paint unapologetic women, women who are comfortable in their own skin, who don't feel the need to conform to societal restrictions. In "The Time Between", encaustic with embedded drawing, tulle, gold leaf, oil pastels - she's taking a break in all her magnificence and imperfection. We can't always be what you want us to be, now can we?
