'DREAMSCAPES'
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Encaustic painting captured my spirit well over 30 years ago when I first saw a luminous painting at a gallery on the west coast. I’ve no formal art education but have been involved with fiber arts of all ilk most of my life. Co-founder and former co-owner of New Scenic Cafe was an all-encompassing passion until my “retirement”.
I’ve studied encaustic painting with Natalie Salminen Rude, Jeffrey Hirst and Jodi Reeb as well as with encaustic artists around the world in weekly “Painting With Fire” lessons over the past 4 years.
A grant from Arrowhead Regional Arts Council has supported this new body of work named “Dreamscapes” inspired by earth, sky and of course … Lake Superior.
