New York Is Dangerous Town by Ruth Hiller

Doing Time by Molly Geissman

The Invitational responds to growing interest on the part of artists and the public in the encaustic medium (combining melted beeswax mixed with paint, pigments, and natural resins). The lush, sensual surfaces, translucent layers of rich color, vibrant texture, and incredible depth are just a few of the many reasons for the enthusiasm!
