Edges Show Opening

Encaustic art has grabbed my heart since I first learned about it through Suze Weinberg.

I now preside over the group that inspired me so in the beginning, and love attending exhibits by my friends.

Morpho Gallery has hosted an encaustic show for four years, and this year’s Edges exhibit is the best one to date.

Morpho Gallery Edges Exhibit

There is such a variety of work, and truly edgy ideas and techniques are on display.

It was lovely to peruse the art with fellow FUSEDChicago members and see 11 represented.

There was a variety of textures to examine.

This particular blue hue is mesmerizing.

I enjoyed the company on ‘my’ wall.

My pieces were well received, especially since I decided to hang them on edge.

I like Alex Wilhite’s textures.

Book covers in wax might not be practical, but do combine two of my loves.

Through a Glass Darkly by Dan Addington

Dan Breslin’s dimensional work certainly has an edge to it!

I had seen Pat Lagger’s pieces during Sarah Krepp’s critique and love how she keeps expanding on her theme.

Kelly Mathews’ eye was part of that critique as well.

The textures achieved are always mesmerizing.

Karl Kaiser has tremendous patience.
