3-D Resin Photo

This photo of Brooke and Grant was edited, cut, and embellished with hand-drawn accents. The beautiful glass-like finish was created with resin. This is such a great photograph of them, taken after their engagement...I had a blast creating this!

Breathe Mixed Media Encaustic by Kim Schulze

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:46:25 +0000

Breathe Mixed Media Encaustic Painting by Kim Schulze Breathe. A word I need to chant daily. This encaustic painting is a reminder to me that a calm, flowing breath is preferable to the halting, stacatto breath that comes with anxiety. Breathe…be calm. The roughness of the sisal paper, which is layered between many layers of wax, contrasts with the smooth, luminous finish created by the fused wax. The surface is calm and inviting to touch. What is your favorite calming word?

These really beautiful cactus photos were taken in Phoenix. The desert has so many spectacular colors and textures...just amazing!

Dream Encaustic

Kim Schulze — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 21:45:10 +0000

My mind is in a constant state of disarray and excitement, and this self-portrait in encaustic is a pretty good visual of what goes on in my head! Creative sparks bounce around with a sense of urgency to escape; whirling, expanding, changing, and wreaking havoc with orderliness in my life. There is never one shape, color, type of line, or even thought that defines me as an artist, and I have found that working in wax allows me to corral those sparks through the use of endless combinations of mixed media and visual processes. Wax, jewels, glitter, and a “selfie” have been combined to create a colorful representation of “life as me”. Custom orders available for “life as YOU”.

Hercules the Wonder Dog Encaustic Portrait

Kim Schulze — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 04:18:08 +0000

Hercules is an amazing dog…his owner swears it! I was provided with several photos and chose this one to create a fun piece of art for his office. The image was edited, fused in wax medium, and enhanced with some macho silver studs and a real dog tag. “Hercules” was inlaid at the bottom using silver pigment.

Mardi Gras Morning Encaustic Painting

admin — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 19:26:12 +0000

This photo was taken very early Mardi Gras morning, 2013. Mondo Kayo Social Club is one of the first groups to hit the street and meanders from Tracy’s Pub on Magazine Street, down St. Charles Avenue and onto Canal Street. The dreamlike quality the beeswax gives to this image is reminiscent of the morning…surreal colors and costumes under the dim, early morning sky.

Glitter, confetti and rhinestones add a tactile quality to the smooth finish of the wax. (And really…what is Mardi Gras without a LOT of glitter and confetti??)
