My Primary Medium is Cold Wax (CW) and Oil…
Cold wax is made from beeswax with a small amount of organic solvent. The wax is the consistency of Crisco (see photo). When mixed with oil paint, the possibilities for texture, layers of color, and mark-making are endless.
My husband, Tom, handcrafts the floater frames and wood cradle panels (pictured). Cradle board sides are 1.5″ to 2″ deep. Edges are either painted or stained.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My inspiration for non-objective abstract art comes from the mystery and magic of nature—how shapes emerge from light dancing in the forest or how images form when cloud watching.
Painting for me, is an intuitive process, allowing what “I think” I want to paint (or how life ‘should’ go) to transform into a life of its own.
I am self-taught—delightfully experimenting while, as much as humanly possible, embracing the Eastern philosophy of “non-attachment to outcome.” *Click here for full Bio*

One of my favorite things is inspiring creativity and easing the fear that can surround making art. Cold wax and oil is a playful, forgiving medium—one meant for exploration.
