Grant Recipient










I am the proud recipient of a Regional Artist Project Grant! My project will be to explore the medium of encaustics and to use some of my own beeswax from my bees in the paintings I create. The other part of this is to raise awareness of the importance of bees to our food chain, and how they are in decline. I have already done a bee portrait, and plan to incorporate more bee imagery into these new works. So check in often to see the progress!
This program is funded, in part, by a Regional Artist Project Grant of the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency, and the Asheville Area Arts Council.
