Linda McNulty is an Encaustic artist living in Oberlin, Ohio. She grew up in an eclectic family in Chicago, and was the kid who was always drawing and dreaming about blue while the fast pace of the city whirled around her. Eventually though, her love of the human form in space took hold of her and she became a modern dancer and performance artist in Chicago, and graduated from Columbia College with a BA in Dance; but plie’ing for hours behind those beautiful ballet backs took its toll and she found herself sculpting the human form, and back to art. She made art pieces for choreographers and choreographed for artists. Now, older and wiser, at the tail end of home schooling her three teenagers in the art of living, while living in art, she has settled on Encaustics as her medium of choice, because of its transparency, versatility and intoxicating layering and scraping. She’s dreaming about blue again! When her sister, Susan Lenart Kazmer, who she sculpts for, asked her to try out some bezels from her jewelry line at SLK, Linda played around and soon discovered that the versatile medium of Encaustics can most definitely be applied to wearable art, a fact, that hasn’t yet been explored by any encaustic artist…. until now.
