Shannon Troxler: Luminous January 9, 2013

Inspired by the beauty of the natural world filtered through the lens of memory and imagination, artist Shannon Troxler creates paintings with encaustics. Playing with molten wax and gold leaf has allowed her to approach classic subjects, the landscape and wildlife, with a fresh eye, and delight in the abstract elements of line, gesture, texture and color. The luminous quality of both mediums weave throughout the images to help create a unified whole.
