I have been creating art all of my life, over 50 years.  I started at a young age, studied privately through high school, received a BA in Fine Art from Indiana University and haven’t stopped creating since.   I have an interest in all mediums and find it exciting learning a new technique: creating and incorporating it into a new piece of work.

A few years ago I started researching encaustic which is similar to oil painting. Encaustic is hot wax painting; it is heated beeswax and damar resin, with colored pigments added.  Last year I started working in encaustics and fell in love.  I like the medium because it is so versatile, you can paint with it, collage with it, sculpt with it.
