Anne Stine
ATMOSPHERIC, NATURAL, CONNECTION
Purcellville, Va.
As a mixed media artist, Anne is deeply inspired by the essence of nature—its geometry, patterns, colors, and textures. From childhood, nature has been her refuge, a place for contemplation and connection she feels when surrounded by its splendor. It is this profound personal bond and the childlike awe for our natural world that Anne aims to convey to others, inspiring them to value and protect the environment that is so vital to us all. Anne's artwork, crafted with beeswax, paint and mixed media, delves into the essential, powerful need—mental, spiritual, and physical—that humans have for the natural world.
"I have found that encaustic medium enables me to capture the intensity, fluidity, and diverse textures present in natural settings more effectively than any other medium. With a blowtorch in hand, guided by my artistic instinct, I carve, scrape, and mold the wax into semi-abstract representations of landscapes, waterways, and other natural vistas. My unconventional approach to painting, which involves layering mixed media with the wax, adds a distinctive element to each piece."
