Sally Condon’s work buzzes with vibrant color and luscious layers of wax!
Many people came out to see the beautiful oil, wax, and collage paintings by Sally Condon. Sally says, “I see my paintings as metaphors for my feelings about the magic and beauty that surrounds me from a simple flower or leaf to the colors of a beautiful western sunset.”
Sally Condon
The wax comes from the bees that she cares for! In her work, Sally “covers the collage with beeswax mixed with dammar varnish then begin brayering many thin layers of color on to the surface using pressure as in printmaking.”
Her paintings are not encaustic like many people think. Encaustic is a painting method where color-pigmented beeswax is melted, applied to a surface and reheated to fuse the paint into a smooth or textured finish. The word encaustic comes from Greek and means 'to burn in', which refers to the process of fusing the paint. Sally actually mixes oil paint with the wax.

Oil, Wax, and Collage on Panel
Regina Held, Director, was at the Affordable Art Fair in New York and left Tanya Landin, Gallery Assistant, in charge of the reception. Note from Regina and everybody else- she did a great job!
Beth Kassay, artist and teacher, is shown here admiring Sally’s horizontal piece titled, “Almost”.
There were a lot of inquiries regarding Laura Wacha’s newest woven canvas paintings. They are unique and eye catching!
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with this opening!
