The Park View Gallery presents FLORA— A Celebration of Nature, Beauty & Life, a solo exhibition by artist Marcie Wolf-Hubbard. This exhibition features a collection of paintings and sculpture in encaustic and mixed media and is dedicated to the artist’s late Aunt Flora. Wolf-Hubbard states, “My Aunt Flora was a huge supporter of me, my family, and my art. She displayed my art proudly in her beautiful home, was my patron, and attended many of my art receptions.…The exhibit is a celebration. Aunt Flora touched so many people’s lives.”

Artist Statement
"My encaustic art demonstrates my lifelong interest in drawing the figure and nature. I transform my charcoal drawings into richly colored encaustic paintings and mixed media sculpture, creating dioramas of tiny interiors and environments. My deep concern of our planet and global warming has led me to more attention and explorations of nature, including depicting species of birds and flora.
My autobiographical work depicts my interpretation of an existing or imagined environment to bring about a looser, fluid version that invites and welcomes connection into a deeper reflection of human and/or physical nature. The latter can include significant memories, people, or animals and their chosen or natural environment. Personal connections are developed and better conveyed as I have been broadening my encaustic artwork from 2D to 3D. I am dedicated to employing sustainable materials such as cardboard and found wood for the armatures and using paper mache with encaustic materials.”
