Artist, Author, Instructor, EncaustiCamp and EncaustiKits creator, Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch has a passion for inspiring others-to lead them to know and proclaim ‘I can do that!’-as she did herself over two decades ago. Her love for the medium of encaustic translates into her teaching, and students benefit from a passionate, engaging experience filled with all the knowledge Patricia has acquired and developed in her forage into this rich and diverse medium. Patricia has been an instructor, and specifically an encaustic instructor, for more than twenty years. This work spans five continents, four highly successful books and two DVDs. In 2010 she created EncaustiCamp, an annual week long encaustic experience for artists at all levels of practice in the medium. In 2013 she began EncaustiCamp International, a similar experience held in various locations around the world. In order to reach a wider audience, and in order to more deeply instill her core belief that encaustic is a dynamic, inclusive medium available to all, she created a product line of kits designed to introduce encaustic painting to artists as well as to open the medium to the craft market, where much of the art and creative force begins. In collaboration with Enkaustikos, she has created her own color line of paints. Since 2015, with a move back to the states from her two year teaching abroad in Australia, New Zealand and Bali, Patricia conducts pbsartistOpenStudio events with national visiting guest instructors at her home, the EncaustiCastle, in Lexington, KY as well as her own bi-annual encaustic retreats. In addition, Patricia and her husband John welcome guests to the EncaustiCastle where they enjoy hosting Airbnb travelers and visitors to this culturally rich southeastern heritage city. Patricia exhibits her encaustic in galleries throughout the world. As well, her reemerging works on paper as well as oil on canvas are available in galleries throughout the southeast, northwest and midwest.
