​Encaustic Artist

Encaustic Artwork

2021
My enchantment with encaustic painting began in 2016 with a workshop at the Arrowmont School of Crafts taught by Marge Luttrell, a passionate teacher, generous with her knowledge. 

Since then, I have had the good fortune to study with two additional encaustic masters - Alicia Tormey & Lora Murphy  
at the gorgeous Essence of Mullrany Studios, County Mayo, Ireland.  

Encaustic painting is an ancient technique originally developed and used by the Greeks to caulk ship hulls.  The introduction of pigments into the wax led to the decoration of the warships.  Artistic use of encaustic paints dates back to the 17th century.
