Encaustic Photography and Printmaking

The use of beeswax is an ancient method of sealing in paint pigment to paper, photographs, canvas or board. You can print on a warming tray for creating mono prints or de'colage. One uses layers of forms, shapes, and colours, to marking and build the life of the print.

It felt like reviving an old dream when starting in 'encaustic' painting the last year. One can make a 'small studio' without having to buy an expensive printing press. A happy thought!

I've had a love for the art of printmaking in past years. At the university I stayed many late nights in the art studios, lost in the creation process. After graduation unfortunately, there was little access the well equipped studios while working full time in an architectural office... Careers and children left little time to continue painting for many years.

Now I'm creating a new studio space to bring hand made paper, painting and prints back to life!
It feels good to my hands and heart to free the creative process and work in painting media again.

Dancing Mama!

What a joy to work with a dancer, to follow the flow of energy, line, movement of form coming together at just the right moment to express something deeper, something timeless... sessions at various locations and environmental portraiture.

Night Performances

Night Performances are always a challenge, even with the best equipment. 

There is sporadic light, lots of movement and I'm limited with mobility and angles to shoot from.  However, there is the spontaneous quality and excitement that happens in the moment!   Skill and luck help to make good images happen, so wish me luck!  'Return to the Light' runs through December 19th with performances in Spanish and English.

 Here is a dance performance of a creation story.

Sometimes I've a hard time deciding if I like an image in color or back and white...

Actually this is a warm toned 'black and white' image, as I almost never do grayscale!

Always looks better to follow a special 'recipe' of color balance and channel paths in digital processing to find just the right balance. 

So happy to be photographing dancers again! It is a special love since in the past I was a dancer myself.  The soul and grace of movement is especially wonderful in photography. Maybe because it all goes by so fast for a viewer to absorb? Perhaps. 

Photography stops a fraction of a second with a lasting image that and looks back at you.

Looking forward to more dance work as the production photographer for a new play begins "Return of the Light".  There is a magic that happens in rehearsal time without the stress of a performance which I like... more playful and fun. Will keep you posted!
