Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch

About Patricia

Patricia is self taught; painting in mixed media and encaustic for nine years. Her work has appeared in several gallery shows around central Michigan; her home from 1999-2004, and in Washington, where she now resides.

Having the good fortune of working from her own studio on site at her home, Patricia is able to play daily with new ideas that incorporate a variety of mediums into her work. One can find watercolor under encaustic; acrylic as a basis for oil; pastel worked into a watercolor collage. The nature of her work allows for experimentation and interplay of materials without getting caught up in any limitations of medium, style or discipline.

While keeping her own work in progress, Patricia also teaches workshops and holds demonstrations in the Seattle and Portland area. She will teach through Sitka Center for the Arts in Oregon, ArtFest Port Townsend in Washington, Mendocino Art Center in California as well as through her studio. She rounds out her life with the raising of her four boys.

With the endless versatility of beeswax and painting in encaustic it cannot be overlooked the availability of so many other mediums working beautifully with the wax. Patricia has brought her burning shellac, tar and plaster techniques into The Crow, why not continue the indulgence in experimentation and come join her as we play with indigo dyeing, henna tinting, djanting tools, wood burning, venetian plaster and rust on wax?! These newly developed techniques will enliven you to tremendous versatility in your encaustic painting like nothing else~
