Mixed Media
My mixed media creations are an exploration in materials and technique; encaustic medium and oil paint are predominant. I work in many layers, which may be the addition of pigment, found textiles and objects, or subtraction by using a variety of tools to reveal underlying patterns. Final burnishing enhances the patina and hardens the surface, accentuating texture, light quality and depth.
