This painting is the result of a collaboration bewteen myself and Inanna McGraw a West Coast artist. The project was started by an oraganization called New England Wax and the International Encaustic Association. The artists were paired by the scale in which they usually work and nothing else. Each artist began a diptych, then shipped it to their partner to finish. Two exhibitions this Spring will begin a traveling exhibition schedule for the work. An exhibition to show diptychs finished by New England Wax members will be held at Whitney Art Works in Portland, Maine April 2-26. A second during the same month to show the diptychs which were finished by International Encaustic Association members will be held at Brian Marki Gallery in Portland, OR.
Please note: Left half completed by Inanna McGraw, Right half by Richard Keen.
