Encaustic paintings
by Teri Muse
APRIL 4th – 28th

Meet Teri Muse, she will demostrate encaustic painting, give a talk and answer questions, please join us.

Encaustic Demonstration April 13th 1:00 – 2:00 pm


Encaustic is an ancient art.In this technique, beeswax and damar resin(a natural fir-tree resin) are mixed together to create a wax medium. These qualities, plus the translucent quality of the wax, create unique possibilities for the artist.

Muse embeds papers, fabrics and miscellaneous items within the wax layers. Color is also added to the medium in different degrees of opacity, allowing for a unique glow to the colors. Within the encaustic technique, Muse is able to explore images that have personal meaning for her and satisfy her efforts to create color and texture that compel one to pause and look.

Extended Hours:
First Thursday, 11am – 8pm
First Friday, 11am – 10pm
Mockingbird Handprints is also open regular hours, Thursday – Sunday, 11am – 5pm & by appointment.

Mark H. W. Hiebert is a multi-talented artist who works across mediums and disciplines.

Self-portrait

Mark views painting as a medium for expression of what cannot be communicated in words or music and for which the factual reality of photography proves insufficient. In all things, it is an effort at articulating something authentic that speaks to the ineffable thread binding our humane selves to the existence we experience in our shared present moment.

WORKS BY LYN BELISLE

Lyn Belisle is a multidisciplinary artist embracing encaustic painting, earthenware, digital imagery, sculpture, textiles and found objects to discover and connect synchronistic shards of meaning through collage and assemblage. She has always been strongly influenced by the idea of “shards” as a metaphor for human communication across time. A shard can be a found fragment of clay, a rusty nail, a scrap of handwriting – any little clue that becomes a “secret handshake” between the maker and the discoverer. Lyn received her MA from Trinity University where she majored in studio art as an undergraduate.  She teaches mixed-media workshops at Lyn Belisle Studio in San Antonio, and also teaches nationally, most recently in Santa Fe, Provincetown, Washington State, and Taos. Her signature media are earthenware, beeswax, paper and fiber. She has work at The Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe and in the San Antonio Art League & Museum.


WORKS BY SHANNON WEBER
Shannon Weber is a self-taught, award winning, interdisciplinary artist whose authentic object and sculpture designs are recognized for her unique methods of using the raw materials she has hand collected in various locations around Oregon. While there seem to be themes running through her designs, such as boats, or the “artifact” ambiance of certain objects, she allows the collected material to direct how the work is going to evolve. Every element collected has a history or a mythology of location, age, or place that is allowed to shapeshift as the materials and techniques are mixed to form the structure of the designs. Her work has attracted the attention of various curators of Fiber and Fine Craft which have included her work in their lectures for her skill and methods in design, both nationally and internationally. She has been asked to speak on her methods and use of materials, and she has been featured in numerous publications worldwide.
