Are you curious about Encaustic wax art? Have you seen Encaustic Wax artwork, loved it, but don’t want to spend the money on supplies and then find out you don’t like working with wax? Well, this is a great workshop for you. You can learn, explore and then decide if Encaustic Wax is for you. No experience needed, no supplies to buy or bring, just come and explore a new art medium. Encaustic Wax can be a stand alone art medium or used with mixed media artworks. It also is great for sealing your paintings.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, I began my professional life as a graphic artist, after studying art and dance at the University of Oregon in the 1970s. I later pursued a master’s degrees in Exercise Science and Psychology, with minors in art and dance. A significant health challenge shifted my path from aspiring art and dance therapist to electronic publishing. In 2015, my book Dark Side of the Mood, a memoir of this period, was published. At 68, the loss of my husband catalyzed a profound immersion into painting and mixed media, marking the true beginning of my studio practice. For the past two years, I’ve dedicated myself to figurative painting, leading to my current Artist in Residence at The HIVE in Spokane, Washington. I’m presently preparing for a solo exhibition at the Spokane Art School, where I’ve also have the pleasure of teaching workshops. My purpose for the future is clear: to create art that “shows, not tells,” our shared human need for connection. “Unity in diversity” is the core principle that unites my work, celebrating how our common needs, and unique differences, create a richly textured world.
