This is the final week to see Textual Encounters. We had a lovely opening night on March 6, and I hope the gallery got lots of foot traffic this month. Encaustic collages with wire by Maike’s Marvels Textual Encounters focuses on incorporating text into encaustic work. Elyse Martin and VA de Pintor The FUSEDChicago group […]
Last month a Facebook Artists’ Challenge made its rounds and it was an interesting way to narrow down my art into categories. I posted hearts on day one since Valentine’s Day was nigh. For that day I nominated Lisa Wilson of Being Breath, an artist and life-balancer I met during Shawna Moore’s encaustic workshop. With […]
Some calls for art are best for others, as was the case with Morpho Gallery’s latest encaustic showcase. I had seen the Unbound(ed) call for art, but in spite of my freewheeling summer felt too confined in my work to create a piece for it. So I let the deadline pass, and instead got to […]
On Friday fellow FUSEDChicago members Alicia Forestall-Boehm and Emily Rutledge hosted an opening with Mary Zeran. “Spaces We Inhabit: Sculptures and Paintings†will show at the Hairpin Arts Center in Chicago’s Logan Square from May 9 until June 8, 2014. I knew of the Hairpin building but had never visited. So it was a fun […]

But then she also liked the Desktop Minis with their quotes, so I’ve had a mom-specific project knocking about in my head for some time. This year’s Mother’s Day was the perfect time to create a piece for her, incorporating her favorite stone, […]
Last Friday The Art Center in Highland Park hosted three openings. There was the flagship opening of Primal Awareness, my personal favorite Encaustic Nature in Art and a student show of Mosaic art work. The turnout was quite overwhelming. We had one of the first few warmer days (mid-40s) and people took advantage of this […]

The free and public opening reception is on Friday, March 7th from 6:30-9 pm with drinks and other refreshments. FUSEDChicago Member Jenny Learner […]
For every setback there are new opportunities, and so it was the weekend following Ravenswood. Art work by Cindy Hogan My friend Cindy, who helped set me on the encaustic path, held the opening of her Last Hurrah show at PerficalSense Studio. Several FUSEDChicago artists participated, and we were each given our own wall to […]
I had a lovely evening mingling with encaustic artists at the Wax(in’) Blue exhibit. It was naturally a gathering of FUSEDChicago members, but also artists who had come in from as far as Michigan to peruse this exhibit. As the title indicates, the theme was blue, and it was great to see the spectrum of […]
