Encaustic painting of nature by artist GG Stankiewicz
Summer, Encaustic on handmade paper

Artist Statement

As a multidisciplinary artist, the interaction of light, colors, shapes and textures that I experience when in nature through the seasons inspires me. I forage plant matter and inorganic materials to create paper pulp, pigment, embedments, casting or inclusion layers within my artist-made papers, mixed-media wall pieces and sculptures. These works embody a memory connection to a seasonal time and place in the landscape.
