About the Item
Artist Comments
Encaustic artist Shari Lyon shares the love of her creative process and the Tuscan views of Italy. "Encaustic has a depth and ethereal quality that is hard to adequately photograph," says Shari. "You will be even more in love when you get it in person!" Working with beeswax and a torch, Shari paints by creating a series of layers and building of color. Inspired by the Siena views, Shari portrays the Italian cypress trees before a bright neutral hue finished with delicate metallic accents.
About the Artist
Artist Shari Lyon creates contemplative paintings of trees rooted in soft landscapes. She started her career as a dancer and loved to create through movement. However, after multiple surgeries, Shari realized her dancing career was over. "It broke my heart, it was all I ever wanted to do," she says. Undeterred as an artist, Shari reinvented herself. This phase of self-discovery became a pattern and she continued to seek out new creative pursuits. After 25 years of managing her husband's fine art career, one day she came across an encaustic piece that deeply moved her. "It brought back all the emotions that dance used to," recalls Shari. This launched her career as an encaustic painter, melting beeswax and combining it with oil paints and pastels to create her signature landscapes. When she's not creating art, Shari enjoys traveling with her husband, and the two often lead private tours to Italy and other European destinations.

- Tree PoemBy Shannon AmidonLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky," artist Shannon Amidon quotes Kahlil Gibran. An enchanting autumnal tree silhouette emerges from encaustic wax through image transfer. Collaged vintage ephemera, including old book pages, maps, and letters constitute the contemporary composition. Unique points of interest peek out in sections, building a dreamy atmospheric background. Shannon creates a beautiful metallic terrain by painting with shellac and burning it to achieve a crackled and filigree appearance.About the Artist
