Lets design something just for you! This can be as short as one hour or we can book several hours or days. In-person or Zoom.  


This is an amazing and fun way to work together and I've seen some fantastic work coming out of these sessions. Below are some of the offerings and pricing. Let me know your areas of interest. With your input, we'll brainstorm and I'll customize something just for you. What an exciting adventure!

Monotypes

Monotypes are an original printmaking process of laying down your paint, in this case on a heated surface with encaustic paint, and then gently laying the paper down to pick up the beautiful image. You can then work back into it with more encaustic paint and or inks. You can also add inks and pastels to the work and cut and collage as shown below in the second image titled "Small Shifts and Massive Alterations" below. This is so much fun - a loose and freeing process. No encaustic painting experience required, let just go for it!
