“Call for Sweet Water” delves into the interplay of color, form, and visual texture, offering an
immersive and contemplative experience. My unique process involves painting layers of mixed media and encaustic beeswax onto wood panels, then fusing each layer with a blowtorch. This technique allows me to create vivid hues and dramatic textures that capture the serene yet dynamic essence of water.
The title, “Call for Sweet Water”, is inspired by a line from one of Shakespeare’s plays, highlighting the importance of rejuvenating and conserving our waterways. As a native of the Washington Metropolitan Area, I draw deep inspiration from the natural scenery around me.
Th
is passion for nature, combined with my love of the unpredictable qualities of encaustic, inspires me to push my imagination and creativity. By allowing the wax to naturally flow when heated, I evoke the movement and energy of water, creating pieces that are both visually stunning and provoking memories.
I invite you to experience “Call for Sweet Water” and explore the beauty and complexity of water through this collection of 24 encaustic abstract waterscapes on view through December 1, 2024. Join me at the gallery for a special reception on Saturday, November 16, from 4-7 pm, and a Meet the Artist open
house on Sunday, November 30, from 2-4 pm.
