AMERICAN ARTIST BARBARA HRANILOVICH ENCAUSTIC
As a lifelong artist
I have worked in a wide variety of media and enjoyed each for its singular properties . The variety keeps me learning and what I learn from each medium teaches me something for all the others . Several years ago I was offered some encaustic supplies , giving me the opportunity to try a medium about which I was only vaguely aware . It was love at first melt . With encaustic one can build texture , etch , transfer , carve and scrape , or just lay down wonderfully translucent color . The end result begs to be touched and smells divine . While it will never be my only medium , it ’ s a permanent part of the studio .
