BARBARA ESMARK , Yellow Figure , encaustic on panel , 10 x 10 x 1 inches , 2002
My story is much like many artists working in the encaustic medium . A chance meeting through another artist ’ s work , read about in an article or seen in a gallery . My story , however , had a form of geomancy as part of the dynamic , a geographic energy that pulled me to one place and sent me to another .
