Biography: I love to experiment and create with watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, and wax. In 2012, I attended an encaustic demo at Jerry’s Artarama, created two small pieces (one shown above) and was hooked. I found I could use all the media I loved in an encaustic. In wax I could paint abstractly, impressionistically, or realistically! I have exhibited my encaustics in juried shows at Oak Ridge Art Center, The Emporium in Knoxville, and Knoxville Tyson Airport, Art Market Gallery, as well as Chota Rec Center.
