PAINTING GALLERY 2

LISTEN TO SPIRIT

This show took place at the Carnegie Art Center, Covington, KY in the fall of 2007. 
The paintings include found objects and photographs collaged in them as well as encaustic medium. 
All are permanently framed on black Formica, 15” x 23” in size, and were completed in 2007.

Face Mask was also exhibited at the
Mesa Arts Center, Mesa, AZ.  It has a piece of
metal found in Ghana with the encaustic.

 

Good Queenmother honors the wife of the last king
of Ghana who led her people against the British,
winning the battle, but losing the war.  It has a
prayer in Asante, tears of pearls, and a farm tool with
a hole in it which I bought from a Ghanaian farmer.

Covered Pot shows an actual ceramic pot,
with a lovely design on it, drying herbs on the lid. 
The photograph inspired the design in encaustic.

 

Griot combines a tourist mask which I painted with
a photo of a painted house and an encaustic panel.

Butterfly Energy is based on a chaos theory of
a small disturbance, say the flutter of a butterfly
in Africa, causing a tornado in the US. 
The image is an African butterfly.
