Shirley Maurice
Shirley Maurice works in encaustics.… what is it?
Encaustics is an amazingly versatile and durable artists’ paint that has been in use for centuries. Encaustic Painting involves using heated beeswax medium to which colour pigments have been added.
Its application goes for beyond as it can be used to paint, it can be incised, collaged, carved, scraped, glazed, rubbed and is perfect for mark making. There are unlimited ways to create images and diverse surfaces. The allure of the results is captivating - simple and complex at the same time. The possibilities are truly endless.
Jan Rankin
Born in Toronto, Canada, artist Jan Rankin began painting just over 5 years ago. Fortunately, there is a community art gallery near her home and this was where she sold her first painting, a large colourful floral titled “Born to Be Wild”. Her work is known to be bold, colourful, often highly textured and occasionally embellished with stones, crystals or other surprises.
Jan has had a variety of experiences before becoming a painter and holds a degree in Social Work from the University of British Columbia. Currently, Jan lives, loves and plays in Ladner, BC with her husband George and 3 black cats. They share 4 grown sons.
Willing to experiment and continuously trying new and different approaches with acrylics and mixed media enables Jan to express her love of colour and texture.
