Meet the Featured Artist: Patty Picco

Penn Cove Gallery, 9 NW Front St, Coupeville  —

Encaustic artist Patty Picco will be at Penn Cove Gallery with tools and explanations of her art work. Patty considers herself a “layerist.” Her work starts with the subtle textures of monotype or her own photographs. She then combines paint with her own  hand-painted papers, paying special attention to the mood she is trying to convey. She continues the layering process with the addition of encaustic painting, using a mixture of beeswax, damar resin for hardening and pure pigment for color.
