Workshops

Having worked exclusively with beeswax encaustic as a professional artist for over 25 years, I have the experience and knowledge to teach effectively. In 2018, I was the recipient of the International Encaustic Artists Vendéene Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Fine Art Encaustic Commu,nity. In 2019, I attended the R&F Advanced Teaching Workshop in Kingston, NY exponentially enlarging my skills in teaching and what can be possible with encaustic art.

All of my workshops include demos, personalized instruction and Powerpoint presentations to inspire and guide.

P R I V A T E & G R O U P C L A S S E S

I teach encaustic workshops in my Brussels Atelier to small groups of students, to maintain personal attention. Sessions are individually created to focus on skill level and technique. Whether for those new to encaustic needing basic introductory courses or for students interested to receive in depth guidance for specific techniques, the goal remains to help each student acquire a facility with the material towards finding their personal artistic voice.

M E N T O R I N G

Having shown internationally and had representation in galleries in numerous countries, I am able to offer artists unique insights into ways of developing a sustainable practice and career. I offer private portfolio reviews as well as critique towards professional development. Portfolio reviews are accepted online and are supported with written commentary, as well as online support.
