"What inherently inspires my encaustic work is the immensity of our universally experienced emotions, our yearnings and some recalcitrant little ember of my own that refuses to be extinguished. I love creating abstract art because it allows me to communicate without words, from the depths of my own passions, fears and hope directly to the viewer’s heart. A connection of spirit that is both deeply personal and yet—somehow—universal. " Josephine Faulk, Encaustic Artist
