Amy Van Winkle
Amy Van Winkle (b. 1969) is an artist living and working in Santa Fe, NM. Although her early artistic career focused on drawing, sketching, and mixed media works, she now works exclusively with the Encaustic medium. Van Winkle’s initial fascination with this ancient medium stemmed from its innate exchange between creation and restraint. The encaustic technique, which dates back to the 5th century BC, is the layering of pigmented beeswax, 20 to 30 coats deep, on a porous wood panel. By heating the surface with each application then scraping away repeatedly, Van Winkle achieves the unique balance of detail and minimalism. Once the composition is complete, mere hints remain of the color and texture residing just beneath the surface. This mastery of technique and dramatic restraint has garnered Van Winkle, a self-taught artist, international recognition. Her influence comes in large part from her surroundings in Santa Fe, as well as her travels throughout Southeast Asia and an elemental love of minimalist design. The exposure and approach is reflected in her works through luminous color, clean lines and captivating composition. Van Winkle hails from Boston, then Chicago. She graduated from Bowling Green State University with a B.S.B.A. in Marketing. Despite a successful advertising career, she found herself drawn to fine art and began painting, showing, and selling her own work. In 2010, she began exploring with encaustic materials and experienced a swift, meteoric rise into the contemporary art market. Van Winkle’s works reside in private and public collections around the world and she is represented by galleries throughout the US and Taiwan.

- "From Orthodoxy", abstract, bright, vivid, patterns, encaustic, oil paintingBy Mary Amendola MarleyLocated in Natick, MAMary Marley's "From Orthodoxy" is an abstract encaustic and oil painting that includes text printed on organza silk. It is painted with bright and vivid colors and includes patterns, gestural abstraction and dripped and spattered paint as an element of design. It is painted on a wooden panel with the sides painted black and the back is wired for hanging. Mary Marley is a contemporary painter exploring themes of chaos, order, the force of becoming and transformation. Currently working with encaustic paint, her approach is highly experimental, pushing the boundaries with this ancient medium. She is attracted to encaustic for its luminous properties and the endless variations that can be achieved with this multifaceted medium. The use of encaustic allows for layering colors, achieving a glowing surface of depth. Using color and texture inspired from the organic world, Mary's work incorporates patterns and structures all roiling together to an image of impermanence. Mary teaches visual art and her works have been featured throughout the United States and Canada. She is represented by Fountain Street...Category
