Elise Wagner has been working with the encaustic medium since 1992 and teaching workshops in the medium since 1995. As a professional artist, she is represented by galleries throughout the United States including; Chase Gallery in Boston, Butters Gallery in Portland, Aberson Exhibits in Tulsa, Hallway Gallery in Bellevue and SAM Gallery in Seattle. Wagner's work is among corporate and private collections throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
A seasoned expert in the encaustic medium, Wagner has taught several Portland based instructors. She has demonstrated at institutions nationally and internationally including, Vermont Studio Center, Oregon College of Art & Craft, Lewis & Clark College, Pacific Northwest College of Art and Red Deer College among several others. Her wealth of experience is offered in various classes that she teaches off site and in her home studio from beginning to advanced levels.
Wagner makes her own line of encaustic paints, Wagner Encaustics which are sold worldwide online, locally and to workshop participants. The nine color boutique line of paints hand crafted by the artist offers many color extending and tinting possibilities. The colors are densely pigmented to allow for extending with Cairo Clear Encaustic Medium. Additionally, the tin packaging is reusable and the tin lids perfect for thinning or mixing. Unlike oil paints that dry out over time, these self contained colors in tins have a virtually eternal shelf life AND, brush cleaning is optional.
