Meet the Artist
Embarking on the journey of encaustic and cold wax painting holds a profound and contemplative significance in my artistic exploration. Despite the meticulous planning and intentional brushstrokes, the unpredictable nature of wax demands a nimble approach, leading to unexpected discoveries. The evolving process often unveils revelations that diverge from my initial vision, enriching the experience.
My passion for art is deeply rooted in its diverse possibilities—embracing collage elements, a myriad of materials, and the captivating potential for layering. Within this creative realm, I seamlessly weave together photographic imagery, collage techniques, and an array of mixed media to give life to compositions that embody timeless motifs. These artworks revolve around enduring themes, collective memories, and the intricate dance of colors and shadows.
In my artistic endeavors, I go beyond the canvas, advocating for the exploration of social justice and animal rights within the creative process. Ethical considerations regarding the treatment and representation of animals in art are woven into the fabric of my work, reflecting a conscientious approach to creative expression. This commitment aligns with the broader discourse on the ethical responsibilities of artists, highlighting the interconnectedness of artistry, environmental awareness, social justice and the rights of sentient beings.
