I was honored to be invited to present at the SGCI Conference , which is the biggest of its kind . The conference attracts over 2,000 not only printmakers , but paper and book makers , sculptors , and installation artists from around the world . I felt like an ambassador of encaustic , as I met so many artists , who knew very little about the encaustic medium .
When the dust settles from all of this excitement , I will be turning 50 . There will be much in my life and career to reflect back upon . With each day that comes , it is that insatiable curiosity that keeps me going back into the studio to create and make manifest my vision . As I amble through the ups and downs like all of us , I remain open to where my next curiosity will take me .
