Current Encaustic Work

For the past decade I have been working in the medium of encaustic, sometimes including mixed media elements.  I often work in series with a specific theme and sometimes these series will overlap. Click images below to see samplings of my work in encaustic and mixed media.
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.  These techniques trace a creative journey.  With all of the techniques I delve into, I settle into a layered process.  Encaustic, printmaking and collage are perfect media for layering.
