ENCAUSTIC MIXED-MEDIA

Dried flower encaustic painting by Melissa Stephens - yellows, browns, orange & green colors with daffodils

Postcards from the Heart is the artist's reflection on meaningful and (sometimes) lost artforms such as hand written letters and her mother's quilt making.

Next to Near features a grouping of differently sized sphere that are interlinked with lines and a backdrop of Mexican bark paper. The painting reflects on how it is unnecessary to be physically next to someone to be close.

Chasing Clouds is a playful and brightly colored painting based on the artist's memories of laying on her back and watching clouds with her sister.

Stephens created this painting based on an earlier floral painting from 2016. This painting is 4x as large as the first and shows large red and pink blooms bursting from their leaves.

Hera's Gold tells the story about the Greek Goddess Hera and her relationship to peacocks. Hera is the goddess of marriage and the life of women.

Heras' Sky tells the story about the Greek Goddess Hera and her relationship to peacocks. Hera is the goddess of marriage and the life of women.

CLVC is made of 3 encaustic paintings that reflect on Melissa's journal writings from 2005. She was exploring the idea behind abstract work made by a child vs. that made by an adult.

Eventide is part of Melissa's Mediterranean Series that donates 20% of sales to The Ocean CleanUp Project.
