June to August 2019
Currently, much of my creative focus is encaustic painting, a mixture of beeswax, damar resin and pigment. It has been my medium of choice for the past ten years.
I love the colour and texture that encaustic brings to my paintings. It is a delight to teach others because it is such a generous medium….exciting discoveries emerge in the process.
Workshops take place at my backyard art studio in Goderich, Ontario – accessed by a flight of stairs
Classes are intended for adults but suitable for youth aged 12 and up.
This summer, I have scheduled two Open Studio sessions for July and August.
Otherwise, I invite you to choose from the offerings below and schedule a workshop for your group of 2 or 3-4. Prices vary depending on numbers.
