In response to the art show cancellations and gallery closing due to the COVID19 social distancing mandate in Virginia, I’ve created a virtual art exhibit available online showcasing my latest encaustic paintings. This virtual art exhibit for July 2020 is a collection of smaller works measuring 12″x12″ and under.

The beauty of encaustic is truly appreciated when viewed in person. It is difficult to see the texture and luminescence of the wax in a 2D digital platform, so I can send additional photographs, video, or zoom conferencing as an opportunity to view the piece “up close”. I also offer studio visits by appointment to view the artwork. My studio is located in Purcellville, Virginia.

I will be creating a new art exhibit that I email to my “STUDIO INSIDER” group at the beginning of each month BEFORE the paintings are published on my website. This special group is given the opportunity to be FIRST to see each exhibit, To be included in this group, sign up HERE so you don’t miss a single issue.

Enjoy the exhibit and please contact me if you would like more information about a particular piece.

The cherry tree is the loveliest of trees to me not only for its opulent burst of white and pink but also for its symbolism of hope.
