My family lived from season to season on the planting and harvesting of these seeds.  To use that as a theme for my art settled into my soul as natural as using a sumptuous substance that only nature could provide, bees wax.  The encaustic medium fascinates, challenges and pushes the possibilities that this artist hungers for; texture, sculpting, collage, and fabulous luminous melting color. Encaustics is an ancient art that has been reborn to engage the modern artist.  It is a natural meld for telling the old, old story of seeds.
