About The Artwork

I dance Argentinian tango, so dance movements always intrigue me. This picture displays the fluid movements of dancers in iconic form. It is framed in a floating frame with black background, silver facing and black edging.Layers of hot wax (encaustic) is used as a base, on which is a grid template spray painted. Roofing tar is used to create the figures. It is playful and humorous.

Making art is an encore career for me. Years ago when I hosted a community access TV show called “Alivelihood:New Adventures As We Age,” I interviewed an artist who had been a German professor. She invited me to her art studio. I loved painting and collaging with her immediately and never stopped painting. Soon I discovered the ancient , now popular medium of encaustic, hot pigmented wax, and was enraptured with the possibilities. I studied with many sterling artists learning to make mono prints and paintings with the wax and a torch to burn each layer to the one beneath. I attended workshops at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown each spring. Next, I added acrylic and mixed media to my repertoire. My most recent paintings are created with oil mixed with cold wax and sometimes a medium to increase flow and transparency. The subject matter that intrigues me lately is painting the abstracted, distorted human figure, often with backgrounds depicting a fantasy room or landscape. My life outside of art encompasses many wonderful things: living in the country in Massachusetts with my husband of 40+ years and 2 adorable rescue dogs from Mexico, dancing Argentinian tango and studying with one of the world's most accomplished teachers, still riding my horse a little bit, wintering in San Miguel de Allende, MX to name a few.
