my encaustic paintings use abstracted animals in metaphorical relationships. These images explore dominion in the physical and spiritual sense, and express ideas of stewardship, companionship, and loss. Birds in particular function as sentinel species- sounding an ecological alarm that something has gone awry. The fragility and beauty of birds also evokes a state of impermanence.
