Betsy Eby




Betsy Eby is a super talented, local encaustic painter who I have been following for years.  Her work is soft, ethereal, and just plain gorgeous. Her new collection, titled "Arrangements" is now showing at one of my favorite,  if not my favorite,  gallery in Seattle, Winston Wachter. It will be up until June 16th....





 

If you are unfamiliar with encaustic work it is primarily beeswax with some paint and possibly other medium thrown in...It is incredibly elegant, rich and layered looking, and is quite a process...Betsy uses a blowtorch, and wears a mask as the fumes can be quite toxic. If it is done right, it can up the ante in any room...
