Arts on Queen presents the work of Ann Shier, a Toronto-based artist specializing in encaustic painting, an art form that involves stirring pigments into molten wax and applying it to a surface (see photo at right).
Shier trained as a graphic artist, studied fine arts and worked as a potter, all of which influence her encaustic work. That work is in private collections in Canada, the US and the UK.
Shier offers workshops on encaustic techniques from her studio in the Distillery District. For more information email annshier@gmail.com, phone 647-286-6127 or visit www.annshier.com.
Arts on Queen is at 2198 Queen St. E., at the corner of Balsam. For more information on the gallery, visit artsonkingandqueen.com or email artsonkingandqueen@rogers.com.
