A decade ago someone said to me, "what if we haven't seen our best days, yet?" That one question was my game-changer. I began to explore all types of things...but mainly things that would connect me to people. A friend took me to watch a demonstration of encaustic work and we both left and bought all of the materials to begin our own creations. Devouring anything I could find to learn about the process, I found myself drawn to the materials-beeswax and resin, the organic nature of creating with encaustic, and the excitement that came with developing a piece. Two pieces were never the same and each piece seemed to be an expression of my connections with the people around me, experiences from my life, and ultimately an act of worship. And from this, my studio was named:
KALOS STUDIO
“Kalos is the word for beauty in the original Greek; it literally means beautiful as a sign of inward goodness. This means beauty isn't just an aesthetic--it's a way of going through the world. To live beautifully is to live a life that contributes to human flourishing--in our work, in our relationships, in our communities.” Alabaster Co.
