30 artists...30 days. Spend the month of October with me at The Altered Page to meet the 30 spotlight artists in my book The Mixed-Media Artist: Art Tips, Tricks, Secrets and Dreams from Over 40 Amazing Artists. See them in action in their studios, read their 'quirky' bios written in their own words, see some of their art that led me to invite them to be a part of my book, and hear my story of what they each mean to me. Then click on over to their sites and see what they have to say about The Mixed-Media Artist.
------------------------------------
"When the true essence of creativity flows from me, I believe it is my muse's creation which is being portrayed and birthed into the world.
My passion is mixed media works, in which I create using primarily encaustic medium, collage and/or altered books.
Each piece I create, I see as a container for the unfolding of a story with layers of narrative which serve to delight, provide meaningful insight and/or provide the viewer a place of comfort and connection whether it be joyous or melancholy."

Supria and I have connected in many ways on the Internet over the last 5+ years. She was the driving force behind Inner Works, a collaborative altered book project among 6 artists, and participated in the online versions of The Pulse and the Disintegration Collaboration (DisCo). She is a wonderful artist, generous soul, and all around positive individual. We have yet to meet in person but I know that this is only a matter of time.
I have always been transfixed by Supria's work. She creates the most intricate, interactive and absolutely dazzling handmade and altered books. Her encaustic work is mesmerizing and she seems to be able to create living, breathing worlds within the layers of wax that she adds to the surface. She shares some of her techniques, along with new artwork, in the book.

Very cool artwork! I wold like to learn encaustic work next! THanks for sharing!
Wow, I'm loving Supria's mixed media art using encaustic. I was able to see an encaustic artist at work in Asheville, NC and I find the technique fascinating. Also, thanks for the tip about Inner Works, Seth. bkisrael@gmail.com
Fantastic artwork, I love encaustic, but here in Germany, you don't find much of it.
Love the multiple layers and depth of colour in this work.
oh how i love supria! i remember the very first time i happened upon her work which was probably about 7 years ago and i couldn't stop staring at it -- love, love, love! i hope amazon hurries up with this book 'cause i'm going to go crazy if i don't have it soon.
