Ginny Krueger, a member of Prairie Circle Unitarian Universalist Church in Grayslake, Illinois, enjoys painting with the encaustic medium, a mixture of beeswax, damar crystals, and pigment, because of its “warm aroma, lush, sensuous touch, and unrivaled luster.” She is particularly inspired by the seasons and their palettes.“The rustle, dormancy, rejuvenation, and vibrance of the seasons fuel my work,” she writes. “The natural world reflects my inner world, and so I use nature metaphorically, to express my personal experience.” Collecting Pool II explores the “collectivity and connectivity between all things in the natural world, and all of us human beings.” ginnykrueger.com
