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 and was hooked. I found I could use all the media I love in an encaustic. I can underpaint with watercolor, add pastel or oil paint, add collage and photographs, embed objects, carve into the wax and layer, layer, layer. In wax, I can paint abstractly, impressionistically, or realistically! I’ve had a lot of fun and learned a lot by experimenting. I have exhibited my encaustics in juried shows at Oak Ridge Art Center, The Emporium in Knoxville, and Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport, Art Market Gallery, as well as Chota Rec Center.
