“Encaustic” painting was first practiced centuries ago by the Greeks and Romans, and means “burned in,” implying the use of heat. Traditionally the process involved heating and mixing of dry pigments and beeswax, and it results in a rich, lustrous surface.

Laura McPhee Article
July 29th, 2009 by Gail Severn GalleryThe Idaho Mountain Express has a great article about Laura McPhee’s current show here at the gallery, “Guardians of Solitude”.
McPhee captures wildfire devastation and rejuvenation through a large-format Deardorf viewfinder camera, which allows her to create large photographs with impeccable detail and rich color.
“It’s more about how we perceive things than the fire itself,” McPhee said. “I think these images are very Japanese in their look.”
Last summer, McPhee returned to the region to photograph the aftermath of several Sawtooth National Forest wildfires for her book “Guardians of Solitude, “a sequel to “River of No Return.”
