Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This piece is made of melting multiple layers of heated beeswax onto a wooden surface and fusing the layers together with a blowtorch. Colors are incorporated by infusing the natural beeswax with pigments made from earth and crushed minerals. The wax can be carved, marked, and scored and oil stick pigments swept over the surface and rubbed into the crevices. Gold leaf can be pressed into the warm wax. The creation of an encaustic piece is more tactile than the application of paint. The applied flame creates moments of tension and surprise as the molten wax is impossible to completely control and thus can move the art in unexpected directions.

My paintings attempt to gain a more complete understanding about the forces —both seen and unseen— at work in the world. At times, I like to explore the simple shapes and textures that populate our visual landscapes. Other times, I try to trace the journey that light takes across the surface of things. Sometimes, I like to observe the forms that repeat in the natural world, forming the vocabulary of a rudimentary visual language that we all recognize and understand: I love the way certain clusters of shapes begin to form a face. How a bit of geometry can hint at a sentient life form hidden within. How we search for certain patterns that we recognize as alive and others we imagine to be somehow inanimate. All the things we know without knowing we know. My work hopes to give visual voice to the ghosts of energy and activity that have created objects in the world, the blurred path of busy hands, the electric spark of intention, the tangled threads of thought and feeling and creation. My greatest delight is in tracking the forces that are constantly at work on all things-- both from the inside and the out. All these things leave traces, and art, in some of its best moments, outlines, highlights, honors those complicated and miraculous paths.
