(hot wax) painting is an ancient medium, first used by the Greeks, that
has gained popularity with contemporary artists. A permanent and
non-toxic medium encaustic often results in exquisite, luminous painting
effects. Daily demonstrations are followed by hands-on studio practice.
Learn about suitable grounds supports, encaustic materials, combining
encaustic and oil sticks, tools for surface incising, and stencils. This
intensive course is designed for all levels of beginning, intermediate,
and advanced painters, as well as those familiar with encaustic. The
returning encaustic student will be guided to develop and expand upon a
personal style and theme, resulting in an integrated body of work.
Tuition covers all encaustic and oil stick materials and supports. Early
enrollment is recommended, as space is limited. Member benefits or
promotional savings are not applicable. (Certificate Program Code: FE)

Curating an exhibit at the Art Center Sarasota:
When I first envisioned curating this exhibition on Latin
American women artists, I knew I wanted to create an exhibition to give free
rein in a rich, multimedia platform where any person from any background could
come and personally experience the incredible diversity, strength and talents
of Venezuelan people from around the world.
Opening March 19th.
Stay tuned..
