Art and design have always been a passion for me. My formal training is in Architectural and Interior design was the focus of my creative endeavours. Since moving to Vancouver Island I am inspired by the beautiful vistas, mountains, forests and oceans. It was just a natural progression when my dog insisted on taking me for walks each day, we explored the waters edge, the lush forests and mountain trails to bring a camera so that I could capture the beauty. And so the love of picture taking began. Upon my introduction to encaustic medium (beeswax, damar and heat) I quickly realized that this was a wonderful way to use photos and present them in a very different way. From there, researching and attending workshops to learn more about the wonderful world of encaustic, this soon became my passion. Everything about this medium appealed to me. I experimented and grew as an artist. I now show in various local venues both privately and through the community arts councils. Sharing and teaching others about this amazing medium has become a passion. ![]() Creating the series "Treasures from the Sea" in memory of my dear friend and companion Bogie is an on going labour of love. All the found objects, sea shells, sea glass, seaweed, driftwood, beach stones, gathered on our walks. Glad to say that 3 of these pieces sold at the LOOK SHOW 2018, a VAC event and a fourth at the Moss St. Paint-in. The last has pride of place in my dining room.

"ALCHEMY AND ECSTASY OF ENCUASTICS"
Encaustic medium is also a wonderful medium for transferring photos in a couple of ways. Found treasured, objects or pigmented medium and other mediums can be layered to accentuate aspects of the photo and to create interest. This is an amazing way to preserve your memories in an archival way and add your own unique touch. All images I use are my own photos from locations close to home and on my travels. I am excited to have always be discovering a new techniques and materials to integrate into my art pieces. This is an aspect of encaustic I find keeps me involved, there is always something to learn and discover. |
