With their atmospheric presence, Stephanie Armbruster's luminous paintings in oil and hot wax seek balance between figure and ground, blurring the lines between landscape and gestural abstraction. Working primarily in encaustic, Armbruster's paintings are composed of dozens of layers of translucent wax, fused with a flame torch, and smoothed by hand.
