Set of 4 Paintings from well-known local artist Victoria Eubanks.

Each cube is 4x4 inches. Equipped with a sawtooth hanger for easy install.

From Victoria:

I paint with a combination of beeswax, tree sap and pigment. It is an ancient medium called encaustic. It has a transparent, luminous quality that allows light to optically reflect back to the viewer. While I can't take credit for that, I am conscious of the earthy, natural elements in my hands, my senses at play. My studio often smells like honey and bees will visit me there. I consider these bees, makers of the glorious wax, my tiny collaborators I delight in the physicality of making. Bring on the heat guns, torches, printing plates, wipers and scrapers of all kinds, odd kitchen utensils, pottery tools, pointy mark-makers that are designed for other uses; they are all at home in my studio.

My art contains intended imperfections - lopsided rounds, rough scrafitto lines, uneven repetition, organic shapes, scores, textures and the occasional recognizable item.

I am continually fascinated by connections, the interweaving of psyche all the physical and emotional threads we share as humans. Paths taken, neighborhoods lived, books read, songs heard, artifacts, friends, family - all are a constant source of wonderment for me. These connections show up and drive my art-making. Layer after layer, mark after mark, I let the piece tell the story. I watch for connections. If my art catches your eye for a tiny nanosecond. - I want that moment.

As you read this, we are now connected. Amazing!
