encaustic on wood, 2hx8wx2d

Amanda Crandall uses encaustic, gold leaf, oil, and wood to create tiny, jewel-like paintings based on subjects ranging from early color postcard images of vacation destinations, to the artist's own experience in nature. These small object-paintings have a magic realist sensibility, and explore ideas of memory, fantasy, and longing.
