For the past several years I have been working in encaustic, sometimes adding mixed media elements.
Here is a separate portfolio of work done under the theme "Searching for Beauty in a Broken World."  These pieces intentionally seek out and find the bright spots of optimism. 
Let there be an opening into the quiet that lies beneath the chaos,
where you find the peace you did not think possible
and see what shimmers within the storm. 
​John O’Donohue, poet
I have enjoyed working in different media and trying new techniques.  With all of the techniques I delve into, I settle into a layered process.  Encaustic and collage are perfect media for layering.
