Each screen has a limited number of prints until the screen is exhausted, and the effect is a series of screen prints that are both intentional and surprising. The printed fabric is then cut up and collaged back together onto wooden cradle boards, and then I paint the entire surface with wax—encaustic painting. I love the smell of bees wax and the luminosity that wax gives my work. I am able to create depth with layers of printing, painting and wax. The final layer is a series of surface techniques including carving into the wax, and adding oil paint, pastel, drawing and other media to finish. Each piece is completely unique.
