Mixed Media Artist

I work primarily in acrylics and collage.I use collage and beewax in my assemblage works and am now completing several shrines using found objects. I have been experimenting with encaustic collage and have found the medium very challenging. The paint is a combination of melted beeswax and pigment. A small amount of damar resin is added for hardness. I mix these paints myself and while painting all custom colors are mixed directly on a hot palette.
I will share my progress with this exciting medium with photos of work in progress and finished pieces.

It's all in the details...

A Feather in Your Cap
Alphabet Soup
These are small vignettes of some of my artwork in the sketchbook. Most are pages rendered in acrylic paint with a lot of surface texture.  I scratched, sanded, stitched and collaged to create the layers.  On some pages I used stencils or drawing pens. I wanted  to include some of the ones using non traditional materials like the raw silk fabric and feather in the one above or the netting in Trapped below.

A  Sincere Thank You

  1. Hi Lynn! I just discovered your blog. We have one thing in common by the looks of it. We both love to experiment. When time permits I will finish looking through your blog. I like what I see. I like how you did the background with these paint cans - how clever is that! Sandra
