Bio

Kate Phillips is a Scottish artist who currently lives in The Bay Area. She studied printmaking at Glasgow School of Art and for the past nine years has worked in the encaustic medium. Her drawings and paintings are made using this ancient technique which is a layering of bees wax/resin and pigments fused together with a blowtorch. Kate traps found images, old paper and thread between these layers to create intriguing worlds, beckoning the viewer closer, to hear the stories they whisper. They smell nice too.

She lives in a tiny house in North Oakland with her 6 yr old son, piles of books and many tea cups.
