| Ardis Harsche is a master of the ancient medium of pigmented wax. Her current body of work is inspired by Paleolithic artists and early cave paintings. Encaustic is a wax medium that is applied and melted into the canvas. Using charcoal, dry earth, sand and encaustic mixed with oil paint, the work harkens primal images in a contemporary and compelling way. This signature painting is titled "Valley of the Sun." |
