Laura's Art Blog, Exploring the Material World

Breaking news in the encaustic world. Joanne Mattera, founder of the Montserrat Encaustic Conference and author of The Art of Encaustic Painting has decided not to renew her contract with the Montserrat School of Art. You can read the whole story in all its juiciness on Nancy Natale’s blog.

Joanne says,

“I am thinking about what to do next. I don’t want all you fabulous artists to jump off the cliff with me–this is not “Thelma and Louise”–so while I have departed, I want to see what I can come up with next, and where, before I make any big pronouncements.

In the meantime, you can follow what I’m up to at www.encausticconference.blogspot.com.”

Hang in there, Joanne! We are with you.
