Bridgette Meinhold moved to Park City and quickly fell in love with the area, as well as her now-husband. Her encaustic, moody and layered artwork came later. Although Meinhold left for California to pursue a Masters of Science in Civil & Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, shortly afterwards she moved back to Park City and began working for an environmental consultant agency.

Soon after moving back to the mountains, and eager to express her artistic talent, Bridgette Meinhold found the encaustic process and began producing stunning, inspired works from inside a recycled shipping container turned art studio. Her art is equal parts adventure, experiment, release, and retrospection. With Meinhold, each day is an adventure to find new worlds and experience new sensations. Her husband works with reclaimed wood to fashion frames for many of Meinhold’s beautiful encaustic creations.

I work largely with encaustic, milk paint, pencil, oil and watercolor. I draw inspiration from drifting clouds, mountains, trees, the atmosphere, and inclement weather. Encaustic acts the part of the atmosphere, creating depth, space and even time in which to create my ethereal landscapes. I work from memory and my own photographs and use encaustic as a way to capture and preserve those moments. And just like my memory, the re-creation is not picture perfect – it is hazy, saturated, and highlighted in the way that I can best recall.
