Santa Fe Artist, Lisa Bick invited me to her Tesuque studio and home recently and it was a treat to see her contemporary encaustic
/mixed media work and her charming 19th century adobe home.

Encaustic is an ancient technique of applying layers of melted beeswax and resin to a wooden substrait - fusing with a heat gun or torch - creating a luminous surface. Lisa has also mastered the technique of adding a top layer of Venetian Plaster
which adds even more luminosity.
