Beth

First Friday with Beth Fox Heisinger

Join us for a reception and show of paintings by local artist Beth Fox Heisinger. In recent years, Beth has begun working in encaustic, a painting medium dating back to ancient Greece. Encaustic is a mixture of beeswax, pigment, and damar resin, which is melted and then applied over a substrate and manipulated by a blow torch or heat gun. It is a laborious process of fusing layer over transparent layer, resulting in an affect of sensuality and luminosity. Her works will be displayed in the Bainbridge Public Library Conference Room during the month of June.

More about the artist

Beth Fox Heisinger was born and raised in the small farming community of Mountain Lake, Minnesota. She earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, with an emphasis in studio arts, graphic design and art history, from the University of Minnesota-Duluth. After graduation, she lived for several years in Anchorage, Alaska, were she began her career as an art director and graphic designer.

Beth currently resides on Bainbridge Island, WA, with her husband and three children.

Her graphic design experience has given her a strong grounding in mixed media. Combining abstraction with representation, she constructs holistic pieces with several separate layers, allowing each to interact with the other. Beth’s subtle contrast and conflict finds beauty in the mundane and everyday, creating a grandiose, lush world under fused wax.
