Greetings......

Hi...I am an mixed media expressive artist.. I have an etsy shop called Soularteeclectic - http://www.soularteclectica.etsy.com
I work in a variety of media..but these days I am in love with the process of encaustic painting. I also love working with prismacolors and create luminous mandalas with them. As a matter of fact, I love many media...but mostly am drawn to mixed media. I love playing with colors, textures, images and patterns, fitting the pieces together and then letting the stories emerge. I am also an art therapist... and my work often is influenced by dreams, mythology and intentionality. For me, making art along with being healing, addictive and satisfying, it becomes a process of discovery and serindipity.

I have a blog...http://www.artfullmusings.blogspot.com which is about my art, my process and my workshops..I usually post my newest work there. My flickr site is more or less a portfolio of my work. Many of the encaustics posted there are sold..but I love showing the images to the world.

I also have a website focusing on my work as an art therapist. http:www.creativeartstudio.com
I 'd love comments and responses to my art.
Thanks...
Arfully, Caterina

I have my work in a gallery in Healdsburg CA..called "Art and All That Jazz" This encaustic...the "Blue Door" was stolen off the wall of the gallery. At first I felt violated..but later came to be amazed someone would want one of my pieces so much that they would just take it. Here is a photo of it for everyone to see... so I can keep the memory of it alive...
