ENCAUSTIC PAINTING
Beeswax | Pigments | Damar Resin | painted at 180°F on wood
My drive is to make art, teach workshops, protect the pollinators, and help support a vibrant art community in Central WI.
I chose encaustics for its ancient roots and the compelling tension between heat and cool, chaos and control - a rhythm unlike any other medium. The process of encaustic demands both a confident hand and one that can embrace the spontaneity of the wax's natural flow. My work, and my life, reflect this dance between structure and unpredictability
I began teaching encaustic workshops in 2019 and opened Buzz in Art Studios in rural Arnott, Wisconsin, in 2022. Each month, I host small-group encaustic workshops, private lessons, and custom sessions - sharing this ancient and luminous medium with curious creatives of all backgrounds.
