In the works!

New Directions in Encaustic Painting

Collage has always been a big part of my art process and today I’m posting about my new series that is in the works, New Uses for Old Lace. This is a working title for the series and might change. Each piece in the series uses antique lace dipped in encaustic in the image making. My use of the lace treats it as a veil in some cases or a bridge to the past that leads forward in other works. The texture and translucency that the lace brings added layers and depth to the pieces. Looking forward to what this series brings!

Cross Lands 1 - 4

Making Color Connections This group of four encaustic paintings titled Cross Lands 1 - 4 (24 in. x 24 in.) explores relationships between colors.  Cross Lands is part of my continuing Common Ground series.  Soon after starting this series I realized this was as much about diplomacy as painting.  Diplomacy took the form of painterly negotiations.  Seen separately they appear abstract, when the four pieces are shown together the hues coexist to suggest land and river forms seen from above.  Every space where the colors meet creates a boundary.  These boundaries create tension and strength.  During my painterly negotiations balance was found in viewing each painting as part of one entity.
