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.

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

Short Bio:
I grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, going to the beach and loving the big vastness of the skies. Paper was my main art supply, especially the backs of school papers. I still use the backs of papers. Today, I paint in watercolors, oils acrylics and pastels.
Exhibit
The Cowgirls Series which are portraits of women that are named alphabetically. Each painting tells a visual story that embodies the strength and personality of life in today’s wild west. The women have may have jobs besides their ranches, but their roots and their hearts belongs to the land. They are painted in oil with a flat graphic style.

Olmos Mockingbird Handprints Gallery will host Melissa Grace Young for an opening reception to her exhibit of Soulful Sisters on Saturday, October 21 from 4 – 6 pm, including a lively artist talk about her work at 5:00 PM. She’ll discuss her figurative renderings of strong madonnas and how her creations follow her personal inner journey and evolution. Dialogue and questions are highly encouraged!
This exhibit includes her latest series of five ‘Sisters on a Mission’, taking inspiration from our San Antonio Missions and rich local heritage, and manifested though her focused madonna perspective.
Melissa Grace Young
Growing up in San Antonio, artistic expression began for me with scissors and crayons and paste and paints. Now I create because I must, for peace of mind, for my sanity really. And as I must, I’ve found ways to make art a big part of my life.
For the past twenty years, I’m drawn to figure and portrait sketching and painting, particularly the female form. And especially the divine female form: the madonna, with halos and hands and flaming hearts and crowns. I find myself creating madonnas of vivid colors and unbalanced facial features and body parts; so few things in life are perfect, and yet they can be so perfectly beautiful.
These days I fill journals with images of everyday wonders, and transcendent figures with extraordinary vision and strength, and I teach art journaling to help others on their creative journeys. My journal works inform my madonnas paintings and mixed media portraits of uncanny funkiness.
Melissa will also have some of her linocuts available in the show.

GALLERY HOURS
Thurs – Sun 11 a.m – 5 p.m
“I have made a series of niches, with the idea of a place to hold a memory, a time, an emotion, something lost and gone from my past. This quote from Pablo Neruda was in mind while making the pieces, “So I wait for you like a lonely house till you see me again and live in me.” For me the quote touched on the bittersweet feeling of remembering beautiful times and wanting what was to come back and knowing it will not.”
Ceramica Botanica is her company name, which focuses on functional pottery that celebrates daily living. Susan has shown in many shops, galleries and participated in various shows throughout the country. The plates and platters in show coordinate with the niches also in this body of work.
