Waxing on about Winter.

I’ve never tried encaustic painting; a technique in which pigments are mixed with hot liquid wax. I bet this results in a luminous patina. I’m looking forward to viewing Snidle’s work in person.
Here’s what Kolman & Pryor have to say about Julie and this work:

Julie is a teaching artist with a passion for both encaustic and oil with cold wax. She paints because she enjoys the process of discovery. Julie approaches each painting with the anticipation of going on a journey without a specific destination in mind. The versatile and forgiving materials she uses are ideal for her process of repeatedly building and excavating layers, adding and subtracting until the piece is finished. A hallmark of Julie’s work is her luscious translucent surfaces. While a sense of place and connection remain common themes, the work itself offers both simplicity and complexity. Julie’s aim is to give the viewer a sense of lightness and hopefulness; a breath of fresh air.

On view until March 5th 2022 Northrup King Building 3rd floor.
