I
love objects with multiple personalities- recognizable things that change when
incorporated in a piece of artwork. I see that in my work- where antiques
and recycled or found objects suggest one thing while the image may suggest
another. I love how the layering of encaustic wax reflects the light
differently depending on your viewpoint- like water and glass do.
I teach communication at a local community college
where I encourage students to look at all sides of the story and I believe my
artwork does the same. I am largely a self-taught encaustic painter and I
enjoy thinking about the whole piece- the frames in my work, all handmade by
me, are usually recycled from some former life and integral to the piece.
I have experience with a wide range of artistic mediums: lampwork glass,
stained glass, oil, acrylic & watercolor painting, jewelry making, silver
smithing, sewing, and leather work… and they all end up in a painting at some
point. I live and work with my family in Cypress, Texas.
