My piece in the show: “Passage”.
August is almost here and this summer that means one thing: an encaustic show and workshop with the IEA! I’m a member of the Portland Chapter of the International Encaustic Artists which is a professional artist’s group working in encaustic. We show work together, participate in workshops and retreats, attend each others art receptions, and generally have a good time eating and drinking while talking about art. We’ve been planning this show and workshop for a while now and I’m excited it’s just around the corner!
Both the show and workshop are held at the Atelier 6000 Gallery in Bend, which specializes in printmaking and book arts. The show, titled Embedded, is a juried collection of encaustic work from 13 IEA member artists that incorporates wax layered over drawings, original prints, and hand-made papers. The workshop will focus on combining printmaking and encaustic and I’ll post pictures of the work I make after I get home.
If you happen to be in Bend during August you should definitely stop by and check out the show. If you’re lucky enough to be there on August 1st come by from 5:00-8:30pm for the artist reception to meet my fellow IEA members.
