Welcome!
I am Jennifer Keresztes, a multi-disciplinary artist working in a variety of media with an emphasis on using encaustic paint (pigmented wax) in both a painted and printed way. Using a heated palette, I melt pigmented wax to create images which I then print onto paper. Sometimes I enhance these images with other media or collage them creating layers and another dimension to my mixed media compositions which often have a soothing color palette inspired by the natural world. Many thanks for visiting. Enjoy!

Currents
NEW ENCAUSTIC & MIXED MEDIA ARTWORK
Art Departure Gallery, Woodland Hills, California
October 20 - November 9, 2018
A big THANK YOU to everyone that visited the Currents exhibition of my latest encaustic and mixed media artwork. The opening reception was such a fun night! I really enjoyed meeting everyone then as well as at other times during the run of the show. I truly appreciate everyone's interest, kindness and support.
* From the proceeds of my art, I made a donation to Sierra Club California's Wildfire Relief, an emergency fund where 100% of funds go directly to locally led fire relief and recovery efforts after the recent devastating wildfires in California. A special thanks to those that made that contribution possible.
