What is Recovery Panes?

Recovery Panes is a multi-phase community project involving those who have been impacted by addiction. Participants created a small encaustic painting representative of their personal experience, strength and hope. The complex elements of encaustic wax uniquely allowed a symbolic and cathartic exploration of their experiences. Participants also shared a short, written response to the process which is paired with their art in an accompanying catalogue



All individual paintings are joined to form a larger work, framed and presented to resemble large windows with each painting representing a single windowpane. The art is interactive- the individual panels are mounted on magnets, allowing the viewers to rearrange the paintings, symbolizing our need to change our perspective and move towards de-stigmatizing addiction.

Both the Recovery Panes and the accompanying catalogue will be shown at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts through March of 2012.

A reception will be held on Thursday, February 2nd, 5pm-9pm, to celebrate both Recovery Panes and 'Come to Your Senses', a showcase of encaustic paintings by local artists

Schedule for painting

I have decided to do a rotating schedule for the workshops.   Wednesdays.   Afternoon 1:30-4:40 one week and then 6:30-9:30 the following week.  Then take the occasional Wednesday off to catch up.

This week, I mean today....uhhh, when did that happen?  We are doing an evening workshop.  I know of at least 4 people coming, so there is room.  Drop me a note or call if you want to come.

If you have 5-7 people you can gather together for group session, let me know and I will schedule your very own Recovery Panes Workshop.
