Nature's Caress

Nature's Caress" embodies the delicate yet powerful touch of nature, captured through the layers of plaster gauze and cheesecloth and layers of encaustic wax. The vessel’s textured surface evokes the intricate, organic patterns found in nature, with the cheesecloth’s lacy edge providing a soft, ethereal frame. The layered plaster gauze creates a sense of depth and fragility, while the interplay of light and shadow invites a closer look, revealing the intricate craftsmanship beneath. Shown leaning on a separate piece of driftwood found on the shore of the Lake of the Ozarks. The colors o...

Tide and Terra

Encaustic, fibers, driftwood. An encaustic and fiber vessel, wrapped in layers of linen thread and mounted on driftwood while walking along the shore of the Lake of the Ozarks. A second thin driftwood piece is inserted into the vessel, with its center wrapped in fabric and wire, symbolizing the harmonious connection between earth and water....

Tethered Memories

This mixed media piece features a round driftwood base, with an encaustic-covered vessel crafted from layers of fibers and torn vintage book pages. Suspended by knots of black waxed thread, the vessel is anchored to the driftwood with a stained wooden skewer, creating a striking contrast between suspended fragility and grounded strength. The intricate knots and suspended strings evoke a sense of connection and suspended time, while the piece can be displayed either hanging or resting on a shelf, offering versatile presentation. The driftwood was discovered while walking along the shore of the...

Tides of Transformation

This mixed media piece combines repurposed materials and encaustic techniques to explore themes of environmental change and resilience. A crumpled paper towel in on the left side, driftwood discovered on the shore of the Lake of the Ozarks, and vessels made from paper towels reflect the cyclical nature of water and the transformation of discarded objects into art. Painted stripes in dark red encaustic pigment, copper leaf, and stained cheesecloth surround the driftwood....

Beginning of Reverence (detail)

Beginnings of Reverence brings together natural and found elements to explore the quiet rituals of noticing and honoring the world around us. Redbud leaves and seed pods—symbols of renewal—are preserved in encaustic, their delicate veins and edges forming fossil-like impressions within the wax. A piece of driftwood and a weathered bottle cap, wrapped with copper wire, anchor the composition in material history and contrast: organic meets industrial, soft meets worn. The encaustic surface, with its translucent layers and textured marks, invites close inspection and offers a sense of stillne...

Trace of Grace

Delicate leaf forms are embedded in layers of encaustic medium, their intricate veins preserved like fossilized whispers of the forest floor. The natural plant matter leaves a literal impression—both physically and metaphorically—capturing a moment of seasonal transition. Earthy reds, golden ochres, and soft sky blues create a quiet contrast, evoking autumn’s fleeting beauty against the permanence of wax. Burnished edges and subtle textures invite closer inspection, revealing traces of time, pressure, and transformation. Touch of Grace honors nature’s gentle imprint on our lives, offer...
