Thrilled to share that this encaustic painting juried into the longstanding Art Auction XX at the Long Beach Museum of Art sold in competitive bidding - bringing LBMA much needed funds to be used for 5th grade arts education in Long Beach. So privileged to be part of this event. To donate to LBMA.

One of the mediums I use is encaustic. Encaustic is an ancient technique that dates back to the Greeks back in Homer's time where it was used on the hulls of ships initially to seal them and later to decorate them. It was later used by the Egyptians - most notably on the Fayum mummy portraits which were naturalistic portraits of the deceased painted on wooden boards and attached to the more upper class in Roman Egypt. These were done in both tempera and encaustic - with the encaustic being of better quality capturing a translucent likeness of the individual. This vibrant use of pigments and wax create colors that are not only beautiful but also truly enchanting.
