Encaustic Mixed Media Collage: One Artist's Approach 1st edition

Encaustic Mixed Media Collage, One Artist?s Approach is a self-exploration of the author/artist's encaustic mixed media collage paintings. In notes accompanying each full color reproduction of his work, the artist discusses the ideas that inspired the meaning of each work and how he used the encaustic technique to execute his vision. Observing that the medium has unlimited potential for creativity, his interest in using it to create his art was a natural choice. Mixed media collage and assemblage have always been central to Mr. Azzari's work, and encaustics has afforded him greater flexibility to explore both visual and tactile textures. He enjoys the creative process inherent in encaustics as much as his finished works. Besides showing his work in Taos, New Mexico, where he resides, he has shown in Los Angeles, Georgia, and is currently included in several juried domestic and foreign publications.
