I am a self taught Canadian artist living in Vancouver B.C . My training & schooling comes from Makeup Artistry for the film industry in which I have been painting famous faces for 17 years. I first picked up a paint brush while going through a difficult time in my life and needed a way to work through my emotions,.
My first painting was a Buddha face that brought me so much joy I felt like the process had healed my soul and so I had to keep exploring.
I started working with acrylic paints but discovered encaustic wax and I have been hooked on it ever since !
Encaustic wax painting is a ancient technique that allows me to reach into that world of unconscious emotion, memories and thoughts.
