Unique Materials

I love to bring venerable materials and techniques to their contemporary limits.

Wax is wonderful! One of the world's oldest painting techniques, beautiful Roman and Egyptian examples date back two thousand years.   In these pieces, layer after layer of molten wax is brushed on, scraped back, reapplied, scraped and buffed, creating depth of texture and color. 

Specially coated, care for these as you would any oil painting.

Lutrador is a permanent artists’ material, used here in an innovative way that emphasizes its translucent, rice paper-like qualities.   Light actually penetrates the painting surface, glazed with oil or “buttered” with wax, bounces off the wall behind, then back out through the painting, for a luminous effect.

The gold leaf is not paint, but applied in the traditional manner with adhesive and gold leaf, then sealed to maintain its luster. 

Drawings are done in artists’ charcoal on acid free vellum or on lutrador then coated with a UV resistant fixative.
