WOW! Women & Wax will feature the 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.
