The initial ThreePond Art collection - conceptual landscapes - is focused on encaustic artworks, and explores personal connections with place. "Vermont walks" is about finding something new or unexpected during summer days - a wildflower, a shade of color, or a happy puppy - with each lap around the same little pond in the Green Mountains. It's all a reminder not only to look, but also to see because there's such beauty and joy in the smallest moments.

Encaustic is an ancient process dating back to the Greeks and the Roman-Egyptian empires. It uses heated beeswax, resin, and pigment, and then each layer and color is fused with heat. It has a mind of its own, which I love, and allows me to create layers and texture to express my artistic ideas.
