Artist Statement
Painting exclusively in encaustic I specialize in wildlife and landscapes using my traditional drawing and painting skills in an impressionistic style. Encaustic is a 100% natural product that consists of beeswax earth pigments & a touch of damar resin a natural tree sap. I enjoy working in encaustic because of its vibrant luminosity & depth of color that cannot be achieved with any other medium. Using a heated palette to keep the wax molten; an industrial heat gun in one hand and a brush in the other I am constantly heating the board brush and the beeswax to create my paintings. Being inspired by nature my paintings represent personal experiences that I hope brings a feeling of serenity and awareness of the animals and fragile environment that surrounds all of us.
