National Show of Encaustic Work
Curated by: Elena De La Ville
WOW!
Women & Wax will feature leading artists in the field who are dedicated to
the innovation of contemporary art and ideas. Artists from around the country
were chosen for their innovative and contemporary use of the Encaustic medium.
The exhibit provides a platform for dialogue and education, while increasing
the understanding and appreciation of encaustic art.
Encaustic is one of the oldest forms of
painting wherein beeswax, resin and pigment are layered and then fused to
produce a luminous surface that both captures and transforms light. These
artists melt, layer, scrape, and sculpt to create their individual vision in
wax.

perception of crossroads, be it metaphorically, symbolically,
spiritually, or culturally. Often used metaphorically, crossroads is an
abstraction of places or occasions where people meet. "To be at a

the literal meaning of crisis. This is a timely exhibit as we approach
the tenth anniversary of 9/11, a crisis that impacted so many and a day
that changed so much in our lives.
