Wax is HOT and so was the encaustic art opening at +Amy Simon Art gallery in Westport, CT...amysimonfineart.com. The process of encaustic painting dates back to 100 AD. Encaustic is produced by heating bees wax, to which colored pigments are added, then the liquid paste is applied to many types of surfaces. The original process has evolved over time especially with the resurgence in the 1990 s.
Having been an Art History minor..... I was introduced to encaustic painting however, it has been many years.....so when I met +Charyl Weissbach charylweissbachfineart.com and saw her intriguing encaustic paintings I was in awe...........they're beautiful and so rich . |

Jeri Eisenberg had the most interesting art. Her pieces are made of archival pigment ink on Kozo paper and, infused with an encaustic medium..........these triptych pieces of art are serene and beautifully installed on a simple metal bar with a magnet. Just the perfect clean lined art that could grace any home or office.

The lines in this encaustic represents the memory of the holocaust
So beautiful are the colors of the background I feel as if it is giving us HOPE
Art and accessories make a house a home, giving it warmth and beauty
