Candles in the Night is an abstracted image of a birthday party that could have taken place on another planet.Or in a home where the birthday person was alone? Meant to evoke different reactions, based on the viewers' perspectives. Is it humorous? Sad? Otherwordly? The mixed media imagery on the bottom third is made from burnt tyvek (the house insulation), which when heat is applied, forms these other planetary shapes. Maybe astronauts are celebrating a birthday on Mars?? The whole painting uses pigmented wax, which has been layered. There is some dark area that has burnt shellac which creates a filagree design one can only see up close. The darks and lights stand out.

Making art is an encore career for me. Years ago when I hosted a community access TV show called “Alivelihood:New Adventures As We Age,” I interviewed an artist who had been a German professor. She invited me to her art studio. I loved painting and collaging with her immediately and never stopped painting. Soon I discovered the ancient , now popular medium of encaustic, hot pigmented wax, and was enraptured with the possibilities. I studied with many sterling artists learning to make mono prints and paintings with the wax and a torch to burn each layer to the one beneath. I attended workshops at the International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown each spring. Next, I added acrylic and mixed media to my repertoire. My most recent paintings are created with oil mixed with cold wax and sometimes a medium to increase flow and transparency. The subject matter that intrigues me lately is painting the abstracted, distorted human figure, often with backgrounds depicting a fantasy room or landscape. My life outside of art encompasses many wonderful things: living in the country in Massachusetts with my husband of 40+ years and 2 adorable rescue dogs from Mexico, dancing Argentinian tango and studying with one of the world's most accomplished teachers, still riding my horse a little bit, wintering in San Miguel de Allende, MX to name a few.
