Painting with Fire:
Posted on February 24, 2024
A Yearlong Online Course
I am delighted to invite you to join me in the online encaustic painting course, Painting with Fire 2024/2025!
My sessions in the coming year will focus on enhancing your encaustic paintings by building textural depth and by excavating multi-layered works to reveal hidden gems.
I will be part of a remarkable faculty of 28 renowned international instructors who work with wax media. New lessons are released weekly and you can watch them at any time (with now expiration date.)
A full year of lessons is only $249! (That’s the earlybird rate available for a limited time.)
Sessions begin April 24. One of the extra bonuses of enrolling is that you are invited to participate in a Facebook group where you can post questions, share your artwork, and interact with all of the instructors and students from around the world.

Reservoir at sundown
Posted on March 9, 2023
That fleeting moment when the sky is on fire…
Inspired by the glorious, moody sunsets over a nearby reservoir.
I am finishing this 16 by 20 encaustic painting with oils and wax over a watercolor base for an upcoming show at Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York opening on April 21, 2023.
The Evolution of Autumn Reservoir
Posted on September 30, 2022
Reservoir in Autumn is on view at the Cooperstown Art Association in Cooperstown, New York, as part of my solo show, Radiant Edges through October 28.
Here is a glimpse at the evolution of this encaustic painting starting with the watercolor base followed by layers of encaustics, India inks, and oils. A special thank you to Marie and Steve Dungan for loaning me this painting which is part of their private collection.
Out of Darkness

Out of Darkness
That moment when the light of the rising sun, filtered by the forest, pierces darkness, painting the winter landscape in blue and gold.
Inspired by a fleeting moment I glimpsed last week through my bedroom window.
The Light Slips away
Posted on January 18, 2022
India inks and oils over encaustic over watercolor.
The edges of day, last brilliant glimmers of light as the sun slips down below the Northern Catskill Mountains. I’m drawn, again and again, to this theme of ephemeral, temporal beauty and wonder as the light whispers at dusk and dawn. Working with these layers of translucent media allows much depth, atmosphere, and light.
Recently on display at The Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York, this 8 x 8 painting has found a new home.

I hope you’ll join me for this week’s session of Painting with Fire in which I demonstrate the development of this piece, Along the Hudson.
I’m among a faculty of 26 encaustic artist instructors who are sharing their process in a year long course that you can access at any time, forever, once you have registered.
You can join at any time! And the access to all of the faculty members is a remarkable opportunity. I am teaching. I am learning. Hope you will join!
