I use products almost exclusively from
Enkaustikos , a Rochester company specializing in milling professional artist grade paints and offering an extensive line of quality encaustic products . The support and encouragement received from Mike Lesczinski , president of Enkaustikos , and
Kathryn Bevier , educational art consultant , have been invaluable and I am proud to be associated with the company as a product demonstrator and encaustic workshop instructor .

As I continue to develop my career I am grateful for opportunities that have allowed me to grow as an artist and for the support of an insightful spouse who is my critic and advocate . Teaching encaustic workshops also allows me to share my love of art , experiencing students ’ excitement and creativity as they explore this versatile wax medium .
