Nature’s Genius will be your Field of Inspiration. Working with handmade value scale tools, your abstract painting compositions will develop by finding the underlying simple shapes, patterns, and grouping value masses together for strong designs. Kelly will demonstrate ink and water based mixed media underpainting techniques that guide you into responsive translations in luminous encaustic color. Paint with limited palettes, layered surfaces, glazing, strong and sinuous brushstrokes, and reflecting along the way.

Kelly Milukas began as a sculptor and has expanded her art making to numerous media and projects. Her portfolio of work includes painting, pastel, photography, encaustic and cast resin sculpture. As of 2010 her art making has taken on projects at the juncture of creativity and science. This body of work contains her nationally exhibited “Keys to the Cures” series and focuses on how art can facilitate the individual stories within science and medicine.
