Encaustic Mixed Media
‘Encaustic’ is a Greek word: αΌΞ³ΞΊΞ±Ο ΟΟΞΉΞΊΟΟ, which means “burning in.β Encaustic painting is an ancient form of art using beeswax, resin and pigments, melted and applied to a wooden panel. The element of heat is necessary for a painting to be called encaustic (though there are other forms of cold wax paints which are not). The oldest surviving encaustic panels are the Fayum mummy portraits from Roman Egypt, dating from around 100β300 AD.
Encaustic painting as an art form was largely abandoned until it was ‘rediscovered’ in the 20th century and made popular by artists such as Jasper Johns. It is regaining popularity as more artists are discovering how versatile the medium is.
The type of paintings I have made are Encaustic Mixed Media, because they not only include encaustic wax, but also prints, oil paint, India ink, various pens and pencils, shellac, charcoal, graphite, pastels, textiles and found objects. They were fused (melted) primarily by using a propane torch.

Bio
Chrys Corn Goodman grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco and California State University Hayward (now Cal State East Bay) where she studied under Corban LePell and graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art, cum laude. Through LePellβs mentorship, her affinity for realism morphed into a love of figurative abstraction and responding to the work as it evolves, regularly incorporating words or lyrics which so often suggest the meaning behind each piece.
In more recent years, she was introduced to cold wax medium and subsequently to encaustic, which changed the direction of her paintings to include more embedded found objects and gold leaf. Whether primarily oil, encaustic or acrylic, her mixed media works include a balance of drawing, painting and scraping, and combines both representational and abstract elements.
She was also fortunate enough to be mentored in stained glass by Marty Mitchell and Rachel Ward who elevate the craft of glass to an art form.
She takes inspiration from using differing mediums, listening to songwriters, and contemplating memories and emotional and spiritual truths.
Today, she lives and works in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and is currently represented by the Philip DeAngelo Gallery in Ashevilleβs River Arts District. She is a founding member of the Autonomous Art Collective, and her other membership affiliations have included International Encaustic Artists, River Arts District Association and Christos. She has exhibited in California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Montana, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Massachusetts, India, and Ireland, and her work is in several private collections.
