Biography

Encaustic is my muse and the book "The Art of Encaustic Painting" by Joanne Mattera  changed my perspective of art making. Fusing colors with an iron and a heat gun has offered me an unpredictable vision of creation.  Encaustic is the combination of everything I was looking for -- a mixture of texture, decoupages, pigments, oils pastels, burning Shellac, engraving, etc… Everyday, I am just impatient to discover; to play; to do magic and dance with the colors. My goal is to bring marketable encaustic creations to the art connoisseurs who visit galleries.

My personal philosophy is to seize the day ala CARPE DIEM and live my life day by day. As Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote:

                                                      Yesterday is history.
                                                      Tomorrow is mystery.
                                                      Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present.
