About the Artist: Mary Lamb
I've been involved in art and design for about 35 years, both in teaching and professional practice but began using encaustics about 10 years ago. My encaustics involve the use of a tinted hot wax medium applied to a solid surface or archival paper with a variety of tools and brushes. My work has focused mainly on accretions or the building up or layering of wax but I've also done collages and paintings. The medium allows ample room for creativity to grow and blossom.
