Four Seasons in Four Acre Plots

Encaustic was the perfect ‘glue’ that made it possible to
accomplish my growing interest in using found recyclable
objects in my work. I became so excited and fascinated walking
roads and byways to bring that next prized found object to my
studio.

A large of -white scrubbing mitt picked up of the side of a
road was one such prize. The textural piece had so many

possibilities but it soon became clear. This was like growing
shoots of grain, so evocative of the fields from my childhood
farm.
