Barbara Brenner
Upon seeing her first piece of encaustic artwork, the search began to find a way to learn this fascinating ancient process.
Finding two great teachers at The Art School of Sandy Springs, the adventure began. And now, freed form a long career in graphics and advertising, Barbara has the time to explore and pursue her fascination with encaustic art, photography, botanicals - and at times bringing them all together. "Working with encaustics toys with my fascination of buried treasure! I can dig into the piece to unearth and reveal it's hidden beauty, or I can gently bury beautiful botanicals to suspend in time."

took my first professional Encaustic workshop in 2005 where I learned the basics of this ancient art. The smells of wax, the gorgeous colors, oh the possibilities... needless to say, I was hooked. Since then I have taught myself different techniques and tricks, preferring to use non traditional tools. I'm inspired by coastal living and its color palette such as Cerulean Blue and Celadon Green. My current work depicts various aspects of nature, from abstract landscapes to whimsical blow flowers. Quoting Danny Kaye, "Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it that you can." I guess in my lifetime, it will be wax.
