Save the Queen

DEFINITION

Freedom Wolf

Mardi Gras

As Dad was trying to take care of Mom when she became severely ill, a tornado struck, taking away 10 of his beehives. He later found a swarm on the ground covering and protecting their Queen. As I always called Mom a Queen Bee and Dad was trying to protect her, the inspiration for this piece was created.

A painting medium in which the binder for the pigment is wax and resin and after application, is set by heat. Examples of encaustic tomb portraits from Roman Egypt bear witness to the durability of the medium, which is thought to have been widely used in ancient times.

 

A gnarl that looked like a wolf emerging from the wood inspired this piece. Wolf represents freedom and individuality. Yet wolf as a pack animal teaches us cooperation and how to live as a community.

 

Masks, costumes, beads and of course, boobs.

How I Got Started

Virgin Falls

Let There Be Joy

My Dad, a beekeeper, gave me a large chunk of raw beeswax and told me to make candles. I knew instead I would start doing encaustics as I've always been attracted to the mysterious effects it gives. I started weeks of research on preparing it from scratch. Once I had acquired all I needed, I got started. At first I only did collages, but I'm starting to incorporate pigment into the wax. It's a totally new way of painting for me as the fine controlled detail I'm accustomed to do is now giving in to the fluidity of molten wax.
