She lives in Rochester, NY where she teaches workshops in encaustics at The Mill Art Center in Honeoye Falls, NY and abstract landscape painting through Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters. We will be incising, metal and wood stamping, adding collage, drawing, stenciling, and incorporating printed materials and rice paper.Ĭonnie Ehindero earned her BFA in printmaking at St Lawrence University and London College of Printing, London England. This workshop will explore in depth the many ways of adding text. Her word sources range from poems of the Kabbalah to “Negro Poetry 1925 – 1945”, Overstory by Richard Powers to Bruce Springsteen.Ĭombining words or text into encaustic can create added levels of meaning and visual interest. An avid reader, walker, beachgoer, hymn singer, and daydreamer, she re-forms others’ written words to create her own ambiguous phrases, eluding time and space. Her WordFlow paintings were included in the International Encaustic Association juried exhibition “Vignettes in Wax and Words”. You can go from translucent to highly saturated pigments. One of the beautiful facets of encaustic painting is that you can get intense color and varied surfaces. An exploration of the industrial ruin and abandonment of the river bed and the land. Images came from the walls of the Genesee River, unseen in downtown Rochester, NY. The medium led her to her own language, both visually and through incorporating words in the work.
