Connie Fleres – sculptor & painter. Encaustic painting was notably used in the Fayum mummy portraits from Egypt around 100-300 CE. The churches in the 6th Century had icons which were painted in encaustic. My work is about reflection and surface. Working in encaustic lends a shimmery, reflective quality that I am interested in. I also feel a connection to the sculptural quality of wax that you get working in encaustic.
