Cindy Lesperance

I love spending time in nature, traveling and learning about other cultures.  Always aware of color, pattern and texture, these life experiences are inspiration for my work.  Exploring various mediums over the years, including mixed media, printmaking, photography, and cold wax, I have found my artistic home in encaustic, a fusion of beeswax, Damar resin, and pigment.  It captivates me with its translucency and the limitless dimensionality that can be achieved with it.  Very early in my exploration of encaustic (2013) I developed a signature method of applying minute droplets of medium to the surface of the painting.  This technique creates a tactile texture that engages those who encounter it and makes my work instantly recognizable.  My artistic journey continues to be an exploration of this technique, a realm where I push the boundaries and uncover new possibilities.  Each piece is an invitation to explore color, texture and form, a reflection of my lifelong love for nature and my fascination with the world’s diverse tapestry of cultures.
