Lecture: Helen K. Garber: Photo Encaustic Techniques

Master Encaustic Artist Helen K. Garber will be giving a lecture and demo on her 2D and 3D photo encaustic techniques at the Museum of Encaustic Art. Helen will talk about creating 2D and 3D art objects using collage elements such as digitally printed photos, fine art papers, book pages, collected objects, and encaustic wax or beeswax on wood substrate. She will discuss the Secret behind her Magic Boxes, where she combines talisman objects sealed within small wooden boxes covered with her photographs, book pages, fine art papers that are held together with bees wax. The combined elements are known to attract positive energy from the universe.

Helen has work in major museum collections such as the Getty Museum, LACMA, the Brooklyn Museum, the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the archives of the Venice Biennale.  She has taught workshops for Otis College of Art and Design, LA, the Skirball Museum, LA, Photo LA, and the Santa Fe Workshops.  She lives with her husband, 3 horses, and 5 Springer Spaniels at their Ranchos de Sueños, in Santa Fe. Her work is represented locally at the Encaustic Museum, GRACE on Palace Avenue in Santa Fe, and Inhabit Galerie in Corrales, New Mexico.
