A&E Happenings for Oct. 3

“Quiet Dawn” is one of the new encaustic works that Bridgette Meinhold will unveil at Diane West Jewelry & Art for First Thursday Art Walk, which will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. at downtown galleries and venues. The artist discovered her new profession in 2009 after years as a sustainability consultant. “While I still write and consult from time to time, I prefer to spend my time in the studio – painting, drawing and experimenting – or out in nature, playing and finding inspiration for my next series of works,” Meinhold wrote. “I work largely with encaustic, milk paint, charcoal/pencil, oil and watercolor. I draw inspiration from aerial photography, mountains, trees, inclement weather, the atmosphere, and pictures I take with my phone and Instagram. Right now, I am fascinated by how I can make wax act the part of the atmosphere in order to create ethereal and dreamy landscapes.”
