New Encaustic Art Studio

Lori and Mike took an Advanced Encaustic Art Class from Linda Womack in October 2010 and they plan to put their new found knowledge to work in a new encaustic art studio that was recently created for that purpose. The studio will also be made available to friends and associates for the creation of charity donation pieces. Encaustic mixed-media pieces fetch higher prices than photographic fine art pieces and it is hoped that this will benefit the charities that they support.
