Victoria Wetsch

Featured Artist

Dates: March/April, 2023

Currently I am working from my Montana studio in Billings using a variety of techniques and mediums such as oil-based paints, oil pencil and encaustics. I also work with water-based inks, watercolor and graphite. In particular, encaustic is one of my favorite mediums. I like to achieve the character of hot wax painting by suspending textures, images and pigments through many layers of fused medium. Encaustic medium requires a specific proportion of purified beeswax mixed with natural fossilized resin, blended with oil-based pigments. My original encaustic works have a unique, lustrous and sculptural appeal. The painting cures and hardens into an ever-enduring work of art while the pollen in the wax produces a final golden luster, leaving a natural fragrance of beeswax. Throughout time, encaustic paintings have proven their longevity and exceptional archival properties when cared for as with all fine art forms.
