Encaustic collage

2010-01-08T12:16:00.000-08:00

I am an encaustic artist located in Des Moines, Iowa. The works on this site are created by gluing paper/mixed media onto wood panels. They are then covered with melted wax (encaustic), then fused onto the board with heat. Most of the background collage images are taken from my original photographs. Some of the pieces are narrative, others are created from remembered dreams.

Octagon show

2009-01-31T06:51:00.001-08:00

This photo shows the placement of my encaustic piece, Thistles in the Pasture in the Octagon Center for the Arts 41st Annual National Exhibition in Ames. I was at the opening reception last night. An excellent turnout of around 200-300 people. I shot this photo after almost everyone had left. People were so crowded together in the two galleries that it was impossible to get a photo of my piece without people in the way earlier in the evening. The show is excellent encompassing many types of media. It runs through April 5.
