Artist’s statement about the exhibition
I am a Southern Oregon photographer with a strong interest in alternative photographic processes. In the past 18 months I have begun incorporating the encaustic wax technique to move beyond the static photograph to bring in more painterly elements. I enjoy the hands on quality of the encaustic process. In the digital age and the rise of AI I feel the need to express my individuality. Encaustic is an ancient medium that blends beautifully with photography to produce unique handmade art.

Photography and Wax: Embellished Photos by Michael Schnee
January 24–March 7, 2025
RECEPTION: Friday, February 21, 5–8pm
Southern Oregon photographer Michael Schnee uses encaustic in this series to add depth, texture and a luminescent glow to his photography. In contrast to the ubiquity of digital images, each photograph is transformed by the wax into a unique, physical, handmade work.
