Oil and encaustic on board. Unframed

Provenance: The personal collection of the artist.​

For many years Susan Squires goal has been to create encaustic paintings as meaningful, evocative experiences for herself and for the viewer. She wants them to be quiet meditations with thoughtful, psychological and spiritual implications. As a body of work, this has been underway for well over 10 years.

Susan’s encaustic paintings are a collaboration in the sense that she is responding to the experiences of other creative thinkers. New possibilities evolve as she layers the wax over various printed material and forms. The act of combining two perspectives (theirs and hers) is primary. The enhancing, altering, or creating of rhythms and structures speaks to Susan of time transcended, and calls to mind the search for the meaning of our place in the Universe.
