Science proves that creating art, whether good or not, is an effective stress reliever. The impact on our brain is similar to meditating.
So, I am shamelessly promoting my current workshop schedule. Find my 2025 live workshops and my recorded courses on my website: crystalneubauer.com/home.html

Time to clean the studio, so instead I’ll post some tessellation images from Madonna Yoder’s (Gathering Folds) Advent of Tessellations daily teaching in December.
I folded all the tessellations on encaustic monotypes, my favorite tessellation folding material.

Love the layers in Rebecca’s work. 😍
Nature’s Transitions
This 6x6 encaustic painting captures the beauty of seasonal change through layered textures and earthy tones. Each ridge and groove reflects the rhythm of nature’s cycles, blending hues of renewal, growth, and quiet transformation. An exploration of how time shapes the landscape

@crystalmarie65.bsky.social inspired me to revamp my studio space after adjusting hers. @skyfox65.bsky.social built some shelves to help me reduce the table clutter. And (miracle) I dusted.
The studio now officially has FLOW!
