"CREATING ABSTRACT ART WITH FIRE"

Jodie Stejer is an Encaustic artist: applying a fired torch to fuse together beeswax, resin, pigments and shellac to create abstract paintings, unmasking an incredible depth.
Jodie moved from her hometown of Corvallis, Oregon to play volleyball and attend Whitworth University. After college she married her husband John, had two kids and worked as an Interior Designer for over 20 years. Oil and acrylic painting had always been a hobby, but upon becoming an "empty nester" Jodie knew she wanted to pursue Encaustic art full time.
Encaustic painting is a passion which Jodie is continually engaged in and captivated by. She's deeply fascinated with the movement of wax, the process of constantly developing her encaustic skills and also learning from the artist community.
Jodie is currently exploring the encaustic medium in her Sun Valley, Idaho studio. Each painting is merely a window into her world, communicating and revealing herself through the things she chooses to create. Her art will always hold a sense of vulnerability this way—an illumination of her story through her wax.
