Medium:
Mixed Media 2D “I like experimenting, using my hands, and getting lost in process,” explains Randy Purcell. “The best days are when it feels like I’m just playing around and seeing what effects I can get from the materials.”
Randy is an encaustic artist. He transfers the ink from magazines onto a layer of beeswax. “In some newer work I’m working with encaustic medium, damar resin with beeswax.
“My subjects vary, but some favorites are architecture, bees, and nature.”
Get to know Randy better:
If you could be any artist in the world, who would you choose to be?
I loved the process and work of Frank Stella. As I progress in my art practice I’d love to be as open to creating as he was.
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What's your favorite title of a piece you've named? Why?
“With the Flow”
I love when the title comes to me while working on a painting, but it’s usually harder than most think to get just the right title. One that stands out is “With the Flow,” which was a painting of a stream. I like that that title captured how it feels to be in the forest and walking up to a stream or waterfall. You just stand there and take it in.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been?
I’ll just say outdoors. I love hiking, boating, and scuba diving. All of those experiences have so much to offer for the creative mind.
