Amanda Smith: Sanctuary


  • Chroma Projects 3rd Street Southeast Charlottesville, VA, 22902 United States (map)

SANCTUARY - a sacred space.  A moment of stillness, reflection, and release. It is here that we can touch wonder. My paintings are an attempt at gathering that and sharing it with the world; noticing the details and recognizing the Divine in all things.

Encaustic - an ancient medium that combines beeswax, raw pigment, and resin - allows me to build a painting sculpturally. I fuse layers upon layers that rise and fall with the pull of a brush and the heat of a torch. 

Each painting is an altar piece, calling the viewer to a sacred space.
