In tandem with The Art of Encaustic: Koment and Roland, we are sponsoring a panel about the pleasures and pitfalls of working in this seductive medium. Paula Roland, Ellen Koment, and Raphaelle Goethels are all well-known New Mexico artists working with the medium of encaustic (pigmented wax). Each has found a unique approach to the process and exhibits nationally. They will discuss the history of this age-old painting technique and their experiences in finding a genuine and distinct voice.
