Best Wishes for Happy and Healthy New Year

Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness  and just be happy.  Guillaume Apollinaire

Wax Beyond Technique– A Call to Artists, Deadline Extended

I’m extending the submission deadline for Wax Collage: Beyond Technique to January 16th, 2012. I have received several emails regarding the deadline, which was yesterday. I realize it’s a busy time for everyone, so enjoy the holidays and send me your images by 1.16.2012.

I am giving a talk, Wax Collage: Beyond Technique at the 6^th International Encaustic Conference on June 1, 2012 in Provincetown, MA.  This conference draws from an international roster of exhibiting artists who are fully engaged with encaustic. I will be presenting the work of 15-20 contemporary painters, bookmakers, printmakers and photographers whose Wax Collage transcends both encaustic and collage to form a singular expression. This is not a “How To” revealing the secret techniques of a sub-group of “encaustic artists”, but an examination of the expression of Wax Collage. This exposition will emphasize the message rather than the medium.
