Our Montana-based encaustic wonder Shawna Moore is compiling a book at this time, and we wanted to crates some inspirational In Situ photos for her. Her latest creations are the highlights of this new series, featured below.

Shawna Moore’s art integrates elements of painting and drawing, and reflects both her education in architecture and fine art, and her inventive and experimental nature. In recent years, the ancient method of encaustic painting is Moore’s medium of choice. This unique and dynamic technique incorporates pigmented bee’s wax, which is heated, re-worked, etched and scuffed to achieve dimensional depth. As each layer cools, another can be applied, resulting in a radiant and complex terrain of light, color and texture. She is active in exhibiting at many of the regional museums in the northwest.

Her work has appeared in the Missoula Art Museum’s Encaustic Invitational, the 2009 Triennial and recently in a multi-state juried exhibition at the Northwest Museum of Art and Culture in Spokane, Washington. Her work is currently represented by eight contemporary galleries around the country, from Washington DC to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
