Boston-area artist exploring color and texture through encaustic painting
August — the days are getting shorter and it feels like summer is coming to an end (or, as my son says, “Christmas is coming!”). I just have to remind myself that there are still plenty of beach days left to enjoy.
“Bayside,” 12x16 encaustic with thread and pastel.

Last week we took a road trip from MA to PA (doing college tours with my youngest). Blue skies, green fields… the best of summer.
“Summer Meadow,” 8x10 encaustic with thread and pastel.

I have been working on this commission for a couple of months now, and delivered it earlier this week to the loveliest family! I appreciate the trust they put in me, because they just gave me the general colors and then let me run with it.
