Encaustic Folkart - Idyllic Series
Encaustic is the very earliest known form of paint, first used by the
Greeks over 2000 years ago. The amazing Fayum Mummy Portraits were
painted in encaustic by the Greeks in Egypt. They are still fresh and
vibrant, and are exhibited today in the world's greatest galleries.
Encaustic painting involves melting, applying, then heat fusing layers
of beeswax (resin and pigment can be added). The wax gives an optical
depth unique to the medium.
Encaustic has returned from obscurity as modern tools have made the
process more practical. Diego Rivera used encaustic in the 1930's on his
murals. Jasper Johns is credited with the current renaissance of
encaustic fine art with his work that began in the 1950's.
"Why paint in a process-intensive medium that's over 2000 years old?"
is rarely asked. That answer is a given: luminosity, rich surface, the
beauty of the wax.
Carrie Goller interprets this ancient medium into very contemporary
work, creating paintings with brilliant luminosity, as well as some with
a rich, delicate opalescence. Maintaining their freshness and intensity,
they will not darken or yellow. Because of the protective nature of wax
they are impervious to moisture and need not be varnished or put under
glass.

A Bainbridge Island native, multi-media artist Carrie Goller recalls
being advised as a child to pursue a career in fine art, but it
wasn’t until she battled breast cancer that she became a serious and
dedicated artist.
Art has become a necessity for me. It's both work and
play - exhilarating yet restorative. It's where I find balance,
says Goller. I am truly grateful for the support and
encouragement I have received to indulge my passion and constant
need to explore new mediums and subject matter.
Goller is lured by simple yet sensuous organic forms
and the intoxicating realm of vibrant colors, shapes and textures
found in nature. Her thoughtful approach to subject matter can be
evidenced from her tender still life work, along with a passion for
rendering impressionist oils of daily life. She transitions with
ease within a wide range of genres and mixed media, including oil,
watercolor, pastel and charcoal, as well as ancient mediums such as
encaustic (molten pigmented beeswax), casein and egg tempera.
Goller’s approach tends to be experimental with
leanings toward the classical. Her work is held in U.S. and
international private and corporate collections and she shows in
several galleries.
Goller
was recently featured on King 5 television news, videotaped for I
Heart Kitsap; two of her paintings were selected for the 2011
Washington State Annual Collective Visions Gallery Show and she was
featured in the October 2010 issue of national magazine, American
Art Collector. Additionally, Goller is one of 500 worldwide
signature members juried into
Artists for Conservation Foundation, a non-profit,
international organization dedicated to the celebration and
preservation of the natural world.
As a colorist, I truly appreciate Carrie Goller’s
work. She has a wonderful talent for creative combinations that
really do engage the eye,
says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color
Institute.
