History

Established in 1996.

Wagner is self taught in the ancient Greek medium of encaustic painting — the oldest known pigment binder that combines pigment, resin and beeswax. In 1996, she began teaching encaustic painting and showing her work at a local Portland gallery. Since then, she has helped elevate the popularity of the medium having taught hundreds of artists throughout the Northwest region, the United States and Canada. Often sought after as a visiting artist to teach and exhibit, Wagner shows her work in Boston at Chase Young Gallery and Portland at Butters Gallery. and her work is in private and corporate collections throughout the United States.
