Encaustic, Painting

Happiness. My painting “Sleeve” made it into On the Edge, the juried show at the Montserrat Encaustic Conference slated for June. This is something I wanted very much but didn’t at all take for granted. It’s an honor and a relief to get in.

The theme – On the Edge – is a thought provoking one. Encaustic’s in the midst of a tremendous growth spurt and the medium’s gaining a reputation (deserved or not) for having a certain “look.” So the opportunity, through this show, to talk about edge pushing – new ideas, new looks, new movement – feels especially interesting. I can hardly wait to see the entire show!

What do you think? Do you agree there’s an encaustic “look?” Good or bad?
