Wax On explores the methods and styles adapted by artists creating with wax. Using the ancient method of encaustic painting and process, these works feature elements of photography, painting, and layering combined with heated wax, pigment, and natural tone luminosity.

The artists featured in this show have a nuanced understanding of this material and provide a wide range of what's possible with encaustic. Artists Larry Calkins, Nichole Dement, Catherine Eaton Skinner, Kathy Hastings and Joey Robinson are brought together to share in the love of this multi-faceted natural medium and process.

Selected Publications & Bibliography

108, Catherine Eaton Skinner
Radius Books, Santa Fe, NM, 2016

From QR code patterns to the simple, interminable zeroes and ones of binary language, Skinner discerns pictorial aptitude in contemporary digital codes. Other series explore ancient tally marks—both eastern and western—and the abstracting impact of systematically repeating simplified mountains or tight details of eyes, among other universal motifs. Hardcover, 12 x 10 inches, 292 pages with 170 illustrations. Text by Elizabeth A. Brown, poem by Newcomb Greenleaf.

Studio Information

Skinner divides her time between two custom studios. Working with architect Tom Kundig, the Seattle urban studio has enormous flexibility, allowing multiple media and functions. The quieter Santa Fe studio, designed with architect Gayla Bechtol, is a modern adobe structure overlooking her bee hives and the mountains beyond Big Tesuque Canyon.

Studio visits are welcomed.
