ABOUT THE TEACHERS:

 

Instructor Paula Roland  began teaching  encaustic in 1997, after many years as a professor of painting and drawing in universities and colleges. The spontaneous medium of encaustic, with its infinite possibilities, provided a new focus for her art and teaching. Many of the encaustic printmaking techniques were developed by Paula and are taught exclusively by her. Paula leads participants through a myriad of choices and options. She is the catalyst for exciting new possibilities in encaustic and her teaching provides the knowledge, skills, and confidence to continue after the workshop.

 

Paula has been an invited program participant at The National Encaustic Painting Conference 2007-2010. She has exhibited throughout the US and in Europe. Paula’s  work is featured in the upcoming book, Encaustic: A Guide to Creating Fine Art With Wax by Lissa Rankin (Random House Publishers). Her works are also featured in The Art of Encaustic Painting: Contemporary Expression in the Ancient Medium of Pigmented Wax, by Joanne Mattera (Watson-Guptill, 2001); Embracing Encaustic by Linda Womack (2008), and Alexia Tala’s Installations and Experimental Printmaking (A & C Black, available 2009).
