Encaustic is an ancient medium that dates back to the Greeks and uses hot pigmented wax. It has been since artist Jasper Johns and the Abstract Expressionists that encaustic has become more accessible and popular today with artists across the country. It offers a luminosity and versatility that is different from other artistic mediums today. The exhibition is a curated selection of work from a group of talented artists in the Detroit area who are successfully incorporating encaustic in a variety of unique and dynamic ways as part of their artwork. This catalog provides an opportunity to see more of this medium-which is still largely unknown among the general public-and see how it is being re-imagined in contemporary art.

Candace Law is a full time artist in the Detroit area. After receiving degrees and working in other fields, she earned a BFA in Architectural Illustration, but found herself drawn to fine art. Her current body of work focuses on encaustic (hot wax) and mixed media, especially incorporating found objects. "Art for me is a means of communicating about our environment, our lives, sharing our experiences, and reflecting how they inform each other." Her exhibits include several solo shows as well as numerous regional and national exhibitions-both invitational and juried competitions. Her work has appeared in Encaustic Arts magazine, as well as the Studio Visit publication, and is in a number of private collections, including at Detroit's Historic Trinity Church. Candace teaches encaustic workshops and works from her studio in Berkley, Michigan.
