Working with Wax

I was in the studio today after not being in for a while.  It felt good to be working again, and I'm getting a rush of creative energy which is well-timed (whew!) as I have a solo show coming up and need some new work.  I started work again on a project that I began in my final year of art school, three years ago, and I have to say, I'm seeing a huge difference in how I am approaching this work now after spending the last 3 years working mostly in colourless wax and getting to know how the wax behaves when heated, melted and manipulated.  It's very different coming back to an older project when you have a much better handle on the materials.  More on this later I guess, hopefully with photos.

Solo Show News

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I will have some recent work in my first solo show this summer in White Rock, B.C. from July 27 to August 23.   I am working hard in the studio to create some new encaustic paintings.  Some of them will be very tiny and colourful, and I've also got some ideas on the go for some larger showcase pieces with found objects embedded in them.
