"every day encounter"

Experimenting with texture here -this painting is about another near miss - missed connection, opportunity, dangerous encounter...

"drawn out and hung up to dry"

I really like the transparency in this painting - it is about art, bead-making and doing the laundry.

"accelerating through sacred circles"

I have used the ancient archetype of the circle for many years in many paintings. I am moving into a more abstract style but the sacred circle is moving with me.

"the susceptible phase (of the moon)"

"the susceptible phase (of the moon)"

This painting is about the connection between a women's emotional state and the waxing and waning of the moon.

First Post

Time to start a blog! Why? To share my process with anyone who interested in my art. I am an encaustic painter. I use a wax medium (beeswax and plant resins) mixed with powdered pigments to create my paintings. Just click on the images to see the texture of the wax close up.

I'll write more about my technique later. Right now I want to see if I can upload some photos from my current show.
