Reuse Muse: learn about the ancient art of encaustic (molten beeswax and tree resin) painting, and use repurposed materials to create fun mixed-media artwork with an emphasis on protecting and preserving the environment.
Shannon Amidon is an award-winning artist from San Jose, CA, who creates mixed media artwork primarily working in the ancient medium of encaustic painting. Using environmentally safe and sustainable practices is very important to her. She incorporates natural, upcycled and repurposed materials into her artwork, breathing new life into objects that would otherwise be destined for a landfill. She also makes her own paints using natural earth pigments and binders.
