I have just posted a new painting in my ArtId gallery called "Trio". It is an encaustic painting, inspired by a set of carved bone beads of mine. The rich surface of this piece consists of carved lines and texture made with a wire brush while the wax was still warm. I then rubbed oil pastel onto the surface and wiped some of it off. Voila! A painting was born. I hope you enjoy it. http://artid 0 comments

I have just completed this beautiful, vibrant mixed media and encaustic collage, using found objects and photos printed on canvas. It is my tribute to the spirit of the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos. I took the photos that I used in the piece in Oaxaca, Mexico during Dia de los Muertos. Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, has got to be one of the most beautiful holidays I have ever witnessed. Mexican families honor their loved ones who have passed on by cleaning and decorating each gravesite with flowers, candles, favorite foods, etc. Each day (and night) the families gather at the gravesites to celebrate the lives of their deceased loved ones. It is so beautiful to witness, I found myself shedding tears often during this experience… Continue reading… 0 comments
