Sculptural Encaustic Painting
Galactic Tide ( detail ), encaustic / epoxy resin on birch panel , 12 x 18 inches , 2012
Douglas Mehrens of the Encaustic Art Institute asked me to write an article about my technique , which he described as “ unique ” I am happy to share my experience , however , let me be clear from the onset — encaustic is my preferred medium — the material I choose to create my work . My “ technique ” is just that — a procedure I use to create that work . The creation is mine . One can copy my technique ; yet never copy my work . My work must speak for itself and stand alone , like a child leaving its parents and going out into the world .
