Dear Readers:
Welcome to the third edition of the Encaustic Arts Magazine, the semiannual
free on-line publication from the Encaustic Art Institute.
Douglas Mehrens
Each issue gets more exciting and rewarding as I search for featured
artists, new techniques and artists who are exploring wax in so many
varied ways. In this issue, I’m happy to be featuring on the cover, a well
known Santa Fe encaustic artist, Ellen Koment.
Encaustic art is growing rapidly, and I am finding new and veteran wax
artists that I haven’t known about; and getting in-depth information on
those I already know. For example, in this issue you will find detailed
information on Ann Huffman and Dorothy Mason – pioneers, as well as
other stand-out artists who anchor the pursuit of encaustic expression.
The reward certainly comes for me as I get to explore and view so much
great art. With the Institute and now the Magazine, my knowledge and
joy of wax is greatly enhanced. My hope is that you too will be excited
about what is assembled here.
Encaustic Art Institute’s goal is to enhance, grow and make not only
artists, but the public aware of this beautiful art form. In just two
issues we have over 6,000 online subscribers. Share the excitement
and keep passing the word. It is truly a fabulous movement. I am glad
to have a part in it.
