Ever since my collegiate Geology studies, I’ve been fascinated with the Earth and its stories that are forever captured in rock and strata. This geological painting explores the interconnection between Earth and humanity.  The work suggests not only the enormity of landscape, but also the smallness one feels in its presence.   Like the formation of earth itself, this painting is created with multiple layers of materials.  Encaustic, alcohol inks, wax pencil, and pastels are applied to a wood substrate and carefully layered, fused with heat, and scraped back repeatedly to reveal the intended visual texture and artist’s vision.
