STATEMENT:

I owe much to my art instructors at S.F.A.I. It was from Tom Akawie that I learned airbrush and basic encaustic techniques. Later, I learned how to add cold wax emulsion to my mixed media work, thanks to painter Hifumi Ogawa, whose paintings have been represented by Catherine Clark Gallery, San Francisco, and also online at www.NextMonet.com.

Two of my early encaustic paintings, Dials (Ascendant), and Rose Faery, were the first to contain real rose petals, after which I started the Flower Petal Faeries. These also feature my first use of the Celtic triskele form, which I included...until it wore out. I also began to use tiny plastic baby figures, as the little faeries. The first time was in On A Somewhat Less Altruistic Note.... Many "Flower Faery" paintings have followed, as well as a few seed-pod or leaf (faery-free) encaustic paintings.

 

NOTE: PRICES do not yet include CA state tax, which must be added when art is sold!
