Catherine Nash
Artist Catherine Nash has developed an exciting
project: Contemporary Paper & Encaustic will
bridge the visual arts worlds of paper & encaustic.
Rather than a how-to publication, Contemporary
Paper & Encaustic will present artists from around
the world who integrate the two media in innovative
and compelling ways. Nash will focus on how
media corroborates with the expression of ideas
and content within this interactive e-book on DVD,
a brand new type of teaching tool formatted for use
on the computer.

Having curated for over a year from calls to artists,
internet research and word of mouth, Nash’s project
will not only include one work each of almost 100
visual artists in a gallery section, but will feature the
works of 28 international artists within a portfolio
section. Nash is traveling across the U.S. through
April of 2012 to conduct these 28 studio visits, taping
one-on-one interviews that will be embedded into
their 4 page spread each as a clickable video.
Contemporary Paper & Encaustic will be available
in DVD format by the summer of 2012, so that you
can also experience and learn from these dynamic
creative leaders in the field.
