Henderson Fine Art Gallery

Melting Snow for Water

January 7- February 4, 2011

Reception: 6-8 p.m., Friday, January 7

This show features the encaustic art of Michael Billie and stone sculptures of Eddy Shorty.

	Billie’s encaustic paintings entail working with beeswax mixed with dammar resin and pigment.
He often utilizes colored wax that he has made, as well as a variety of photographic images, pigments and other materials that he’s collected from his travels around the world.
	Shorty begins his projects by sketching a stone from different angles.
In time, he sees a form in the stone, and then works to create the images – often animals or spirit beings from Navajo mythology.

The Art Gallery is open Monday through Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.,
and on Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
