Spray paint!! The mask photo was from a couple of years ago when I was experimenting with masking tape and aerosol cans 🙂 I still sometimes use a mask if I’m using a heavy amount of powder pigment and there’s a lot in the air

Hi Martina
Sorry, no,I don’t currently do workshops – I learnt from the American artist Rebecca Cromwell at a workshop at Ballinglen Arts Foundation in Ballycastle, County Mayo. If you Google Rebecca,, she has a great blog and website with loads of links to infovabout cold wax medium including recipes
Hi Fred. I learned from Rebecca Crowell. She has written a great book with Jerry McGlaughlin, called ‘ColdWax Techniques and conversations’ – they both run workshops too. Other cold wax artists I know of who teach include Niki Heenan and Janice Mason Steeves. In its simplest terms, cold wax medium is used with oil paint to speed up drying time, allow for applications of transparent layers using a roller and squeegee and is great for creating texture. There are many books and loads of information on line.

Thank you for such a detailed look into you thoughts and processes. I love your work!
thabks very much 🙂
Love your work! Would love to see a video or timelapse of your process, I am always intrigued with the unconventional. It’s all really beautiful.
Thank you. No time lapse video I’m afraid, but I regularly share sequences of photos here and on facebook showing work in progresss 🙂
Your work is an inspiration to me. Thanks so much so showing it.

What are you using that you have to wear a mask? I use Gamblin cold wax and Gamsol OMS so no mask necessary….

Do you every do workshops? Love your process. Have made cold wax medium at home but not sure if this is the same as what you can buy?
