Pink Skies is a favorite of mine because of its subtlety and its depiction of the layered, transparent quality that encaustic (hot wax) paintings are famous for. The undulating lines and shapes are typical for me, as opposed to hard edge or geometric. They suggest live creatures as they meld into the greenish layers in the lower half of the painting. I used some layers of burnt shellac over the wax, horsehair from one of my former horse's grooming, and gold leaf.

Making art is an encore career for me. Years ago when I hosted a community access TV show called “Alivelihood:New Adventures As We Age,” I interviewed an artist who had been a German professor. She invited me to her art studio. I loved painting and collaging with her immediately and never stopped painting. Soon I discovered the ancient , now popular medium of encaustic, hot pigmented wax, and was enraptured with the possibilities. I studied with many sterling artists learning to make mono prints and paintings with the wax and a torch to burn each layer to the one beneath. I attended workshops at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown each spring. Next, I added acrylic and mixed media to my repertoire. My most recent paintings are created with oil mixed with cold wax and sometimes a medium to increase flow and transparency. The subject matter that intrigues me lately is painting the abstracted, distorted human figure, often with backgrounds depicting a fantasy room or landscape. My life outside of art encompasses many wonderful things: living in the country in Massachusetts with my husband of 40+ years and 2 adorable rescue dogs from Mexico, dancing Argentinian tango and studying with one of the world's most accomplished teachers, still riding my horse a little bit, wintering in San Miguel de Allende, MX to name a few.
