This story features artists Erin Anfinson, Lyn Belisle and Lora Murphy
ERIN ANFINSON
ERIN ANFINSON, "Vestiges (Silphium Laciniatum)," Encaustic, paper on board 24 x 18 in
"..encaustic monotype has translucency, layering possibilities, versatility for collage, and spontaneity. The nature of the beeswax is also an ever-present reminder about the importance of preserving native ecosystems like tallgrass prairies for pollinators who depend on them."

LYN BELISLE
LYN BELISLE, "Relic 2045 AD", earthenware, beeswax, digital image, mixed media, found objects on canvas, 24" x 12"
My work has always been strongly influenced by the idea of “shards” as a metaphor for human communication across time. A shard can be a found fragment of clay, a rusty nail, a scrap of handwriting— any little clue that becomes a “secret handshake” between the maker and the discoverer.

LORA MURPHY
LORA MURPHY, "Hope Springs", Encaustic, collage on panel, 28" x 14"
Lora works primarily in encaustic and mixed media, and says, "Once I tried encaustic, I was totally hooked, and I have been fortunate to be able to apply my traditional knowledge of painting to the encaustic medium. And I found along the way that I just love teaching. I am so inspired by watching all of my students gain so much confidence and reach new levels with their work. Even those with no experience of either encaustic or portraiture can do amazing work.”
