Artist Statement
Much of my work focuses on the play of light and color. I use paint and pigment to capture the feeling of energy and transformation.
Painting with encaustic equates with a mysterious alchemy for me. I may have some idea of what I want to achieve but I can never be sure of how I will get there or exactly what I will find. The way the medium behaves, I find it is best to start with a color I want explore, or a feeling I want evoke. Then as I work with the paint often an image or a feeling will begin to form, sometimes surprising me.
I am a professional artist based in New England and my work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Encaustic Art. See more of my work here: https://lauragraveline.omeka.net/ Find all my links on Linktree
