As these macro shots of leaves changing at the turn of the season reflect the beauty of color and form, may we know and see the inner beauty that resides in each other and inside each of us, remembering that we are part of the same whole. By honoring this sacred nature inherent in the Universe and in ourselves, we bring goodness and light to the world.

This sculpture began with macro photographs of small leaves discovered on top of a mountain, taken under clear blue sky. I was drawn to the holes that showed the beginnings of breakdown, beautiful in their own right. Unified by a metal rim found in our old barn, I enjoyed the symmetry of form, with room for individuation and expression in the life of each leaf. The bovine bones were collected on neighbor’s land and keep these parts alive, filled with compassion and basic goodness.

This piece is available for purchase, but will first be included in the invitational exhibit, “Wax Applications: Showcasing the Depth and Breadth of Encaustic and Cold Wax Mediums” in Dallas, TX, in March of 2021. I am honored to have my encaustic sculptural work showcased with many renowned wax artists and to be included with my method of interpreting the amazing medium of encaustic. Please contact me if you are interested in acquiring this piece so that we may discuss these dynamics. Thank you!
