Annette Thompson, owner of Annie’s Artful Adventures, began working with Encaustic wax in 2015 and quickly found both inspiration and community through the local art world. Since then her creative practice has expanded to include acrylics, oils, ink, and mixed media. Color is often the starting point and driving force behind Annette‘s work. Drawn to richly pigmented hues, she uses color to establish mood, energy, and direction. The fluid nature of Encaustic wax allows her work to evolve organically through heat, texture, layering and movement, creating a balance between intention and discovery. Her subjects range from funky florals and atmospheric seascapes to mountain landscapes inspired by her Colorado roots. Annette continues to explore new materials and techniques, embracing the unexpected as part of the creative process. Her work reflects an ongoing dialogue between structure and fluidity, control and chance, resulting in vibrant pieces meant to bring enjoyment to others.
