Feline Quietude (Hand-Pulled Collagraph and Encaustic Painting)
24" x 24" As many of us have during these past two years, this little one finds peace and calm, gentleness and quiet with their sweet cat. Our animals can so often offer us comfort and joy especially during difficult times. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy these amazing creatures in our homes. The cat and child were printed as a hand pulled collagraph on Rives BFK cotton printmaking paper using Akua Inks and then mounted onto the birch panel and embellished with elaborate designs of textiles painted with encaustic paints.

ENCAUSTIC is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in” (enkaustikos). Encaustic consists of natural bees wax and dammar resin (crystallized tree sap). I use R&F wax medium, as well as their pigment wax blocks and pigment sticks. Using a selection of brushes, carving tool and a heated stylus, I “paint” with the hot wax.
All my encaustics are painted onto high quality birch panels and are ready to be hung as is with natural wood sides exposed. You may also frame them. Treat an encaustic painting as you would any fine art. Use care hanging, transporting or storing a painting. Consistent Temperature – Hang and store at normal room temperatures. Avoid direct sunlight, freezing and extremely hot temperatures; wax will melt at 150°F / 65°C.
