I was up in a town called Minneola, just northwest of Orlando. It was a small event and I was doing a demo on my HOTBOX. I had made small monotypes, about 4×4 on rice paper. I framed a few, and since it was Valentine’s Day I thought that I would just give out a [...]

I am still decompressing from the Third National Encaustic Conference. After the conference I took a workshop with Miles Conrad. It was titled encaustic in 3D. Sculpture has never been my thing, but this class was amazing. Too bad I didn’t have an extra piece of luggage to bring all my mini-sculpture pieces home (and [...]

I just finalized my travel plans to attend the National Encaustic Conference in Monserrat. I can’t wait. I have not done any work in the studio since last November. Since I have a full-time non-art career that has been taking up ALL of my time. So I hope that this trip will get me back [...]

A few weeks ago I attended the Broward County Red Cross Designer Showcase. When I got to the beautiful houses on Las Olas, I was told that the art was all “eco-friendly”. What I discovered was the paint used through out all the homes was a new low-odor, evironmentally friendly housepaint. But I was also [...]
