Shary Bartlett is an award-winning artist who paints and sculpts with encaustic paint - made from molten beeswax.  Her encaustic mixed media paintings are portraits of nature and humankind. She takes the ancient art of encaustic painting and infuses it with a modern look. Shary’s evocative images glow beneath a dreamy, translucent surface of wax, infused by textured layers and 3-dimensional depth. Her artwork is held in public and private collections and is published widely in books and magazines.  She has been a long time instructor at Capilano University and Langara College, and has exhibited extensively in both Canada and internationally.
