A fresh, new approach to an ancient medium, hot wax is yet another medium that I am exploring.  First used by Egyptians and Vikings, hot wax painting was a lost art, and was almost non-existent in the modern art world until a few decades ago.  Now, contemporary artists are once again trying their hand at this age-old technique.  A fascinating medium to work with, I have incorporated sculpting, dripping,  collage, and traditional glazing techniques in my works.  The first of these contemporary works are based on my plein air studies of flowers.  Always searching for new ways to express myself, this old medium is giving me a chance to learn and grow as a fine artist.
