As many or most of you must know, I am very involved with raising money and volunteering. I have worked in the past as a development officer for non-profits. This year I was elected to the Board of my Junior League (we are very diversified) I decided to host a fundraiser that would incorporate artists, [...]

I was so excited to submit a piece of work in a show at a local gallery called “Summer Heat”. I just started this new process of melting the wax under a 600 watt lamp and working with the drips. I also thought how appropriate it was “melted” for a show titled “Summer Heat”. I [...]

I finally attended the Gallery Walk in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami. First, I felt so old. This being Miami, I forgot that I most of the girls wear a shirt as a mini-dress, and all the art “kids” are 20 years old, in black skinny jeans and tee’s and all need a bath. [...]

I had made a PowerPoint Portfolio and then found a program that converts it to a video. So here it is…

Just finished and I am exhausted. Learned how to dip papers in wax, fuse with a 600 watt light bulb (with protective eyewear) and worked on scrolls. I am on overload. But Paula always has fun workshops. Decided to purchase another Hotbox with a large plate. I like to work very small or very big. [...]
What is a Hot Cake??

A few weeks ago I was part of an art fair in Minneola, Florida. I was doing an encaustic Hot Box demo and I was making small 4×4 abstracts. I had framed a few pieces and my intention was just to show how encaustic wax can be used as for a monotype. Well one women [...]

I finally found a look that I like. It only has taken me 2 years to find a theme to work on. I had been trying all different techniques, but I know that when I worked in acrylics I always like the negative space and would remover layers with sandpaper. I can’t sandpaper the wax, [...]

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 [...]
