Episode Synopsis
I am a working artist, an art fair exhibitor, an encaustic workshop instructor, owner of Buzz in Art Studios, a mural artist, and an art event planner.
My first year of college, I stumbled across the book about ancient funeral portraits that were painted with beeswax titled “The Mysterious Fayum Portraits: Faces from Ancient Egypt” by Euphrosyne Doxiadis. I became fascinated by the lost art of encaustic and have dedicated myself to working with the beeswax medium for the past 20 years.
In 2004 I received a research grant from UWSP to teach myself how to paint with molten pigmented beeswax. I graduated with a BFA in Studio Art with a painting emphasis in 2006. I didn’t get into graduate school so I began exhibiting at art festivals and have been showcasing my beeswax paintings across the Midwest.
