Together, by Meredith Hamilton
Title: Together
Created: 2007
Artist: Meredith Hamilton
Location: Sonoma county, CA
Size: 9.25" x 11"
Media: encaustic on birch plywood, ready to hang
Description: This work is part of a series of paintings about shelter and human habitations. All of the pieces are painted on leftover wood from housing construction and furniture building that would normally be thrown away.
Meredith's recent work is simple and quiet. She is interested in conveying complicated emotions with simple drawings on backgrounds made up of layers and layers of encaustic paint. She works mainly in encaustic, which is beeswax mixed with a bit of tree resin for strength and pigments for color. She loves working in this medium. It smells delicious, it's ancient and tricky and fun.
Meredith lives and works in Sonoma county. She shows in San Francisco and participates in SF Open Studios with the lovely and talented artists at Compound 21 in the Mission.
