I found this vintage Florentine triptych at an estate sale several years ago and I’ve been waiting to turn it into an assemblage. I love the luminous quality of encaustic medium and used it on each of the three panels. Just listed in the shop.
I love finding old vintage frames and I found these just down the street from my house at a sweet little estate sale. I refinished them a bit and cut new mats. The petite acrylic paintings fit perfectly. Just listed in the shop
Adding details like fabric and vintage buttons is a favorite technique of mine when making encaustic collages. This one just listed in the shop

Mixed Media Painting
My creative story starts with a disaster...
I have always loved art, loved to paint and draw as a child. In college my major was Art History, such a lovely way to study about history through the eyes of artists of each time period. But alas, practicality edged in and I combined my love of learning and sharing and became a teacher. For 46 years I was an educator--a classroom teacher, an owner of a center for dyslexic children and adults, and the last 26 of my career…a dream job. I was a school librarian for a small country school in the foothills of beautiful Santa Barbara. Books, teaching, children. Nothing better. In June of 2015 I retired and have returned home to my art.
But the disaster....in 2008 my house burned in a raging wildfire. Somehow I managed to grab a few boxes and in those boxes were seven old photos of myself as a child. All the other pictures burned, all my family photos of my parents and grandparents, along with those from my childhood. But there were those seven. When I recovered from the disaster--I now live in a lovely little place on a street lined with Jacaranda trees, (a much safer location, I might add)--I began thinking of those photos and it seemed they needed to be “honored” in some way and I thought, why not combine that idea with doing something else I’ve always wanted to do--art.
I started with one, the one of me in a hula skirt at age four, and it was so healing, not to mention fun, that I kept going and then found myself searching for old photos and vintage ephemera, wanting to combine them in interesting ways.
My studio is a small one as befits my art. When I am working, the world falls away and when I come back to it, I am refreshed. I love the search for the materials I use in my art almost as much as the creating. Old photos spark stories. What was happening the moment the shot was taken? What was in the photographer's mind? And why has this photo found its way into my hands, now, to be made into art? I love the beautiful, careful script on old papers, such a contrast to our quick and busy communications today. Each of my pieces is a story made visual.
