Artist's Statement….
A passion-fueled artist and teacher, I believe in rich imagery, bold brush strokes and playful gesture.
I’m guessing that you’re trying to figure out where to go next with your images, and only know what you want to unleash your creativity. It’s been a long time since you’ve ‘played’ and you want to remember that childhood feeling of not being confined. You want playfulness and mystery to come out in your work.
My purpose is to teach you about this amazing alternative photographic process called photo encaustic and give you the support, inspiration, and strategies to find your artistic vision using the medium. I have a sneaking suspicion that you’ve been searching to find a way to add more depth, texture and interest to your photographs.
This site is full of incredible resources, ideas, and opportunities to learn. This is a space where I will share my experiences, reflections, trials, and yes, even errors with you through posts, videos, interviews, and all things photo encaustic. And of course, I’ll be looking for your comments and experiences too.
