Wax Works: Encaustic Paintings & Sculptures.

With Wax Works, Patricia Otto shows encaustic paintings that move into sculptural forms depicting portraits, figures and mythological creatures. Using melted beeswax with oil painted glazes, Otto creates a deep, luxurioUs space and texture in her figurative images on pieces of assembled driftwood, which vary in size from 4 inches to 8 feet.
