Enkaustikos: Playing with Wax with Judy Applegarth

Judy Applegarth is originally from Alaska and recently moved to Colorado Springs in 2016.  Her artistic background in watercolor, textiles, and collage led her to encaustic wax.

Encaustics’ luminosity, vibrant colors and texture gave Judy the desire to play. These elements are evident in her encaustic works in both subtle and overt ways. For the past 10 years, Judy has shared her techniques in her art classes. Many of her works have been published in several magazines and collected worldwide.

Judy’s “Enkaustikos: Playing with Wax” collection includes both traditional encaustic paintings and encaustic monotypes.
