Meet Jennifer…
I’m a Denver-based graphic designer who, after years painting in oil and watercolor, discovered encaustics after a friend encouraged me to take a workshop at the Art Students League of Denver. From the first fuse, I fell in love with everything about the medium—from the smell of the wax to the magical way it fuses each layer together, inviting both intention and chance.
My work draws inspiration from the shapes and textures of nature. I create abstract layers using botanical prints made from plants in my garden, along with fragments of vintage letters, book pages, and dress patterns. To add depth and texture, I incorporate imprints of plants, vintage buttons, tokens, and other found materials. The result is a collection of abstract mixed media paintings that are rich in detail and character.
