Brave students and creative experiments from my two encaustic workshops at Schack Art Center (Everett, WA) in August! Way to go gals!

Sold, but not forgotten...

 Well, I just completed this very personal piece, and, yes, it SOLD!. The title is "The Dream: Release", and the vision did come to me in a dream. And yes, I am fantasizing about "escape" and "release" lately (how selfish of me)! This was done in encaustic with graphite, oil pastel, metallic powders and glass "threads". The squares are all done with hand-made stencils and are "raised" from the surface. Time to do another one! Hope you enjoy...

Thanks to Alex Strazzanti of Seattle for your beautiful (and quick) professional photos!

In the studio...

Ongoing work in the studio! These are "detail" shots of ongoing, sea-themed encaustic work I am pursuing in the studio. My main inspiration? My trip to gorgeous Loreto, Mexico in March. The desert-meets-Sea of Cortez colors, awesome sea life and natural elements. The TEXTURES there are mind-blowing, begging to be included in encautic wax! More work to come...

It's official! My NEW summer encaustic classes at Schack Art Center are open for registration...

Check out my NEW summer encaustic classes at Schack Art Center! Photo Imagery II (June 7 & 8), Extreme Encaustic Basics (Aug. 9) and Encaustic Collage: Natural Elements (Aug. 10)! I can already smell the beeswax!

Just dreaming...Viva Mexico!

Our warm Seattle weather, birdsong, buzzing bees and Cinco de Mayo all reminding me of the gentle atmosphere, people and landscape of Loreto, Mexico...
