      Paintings in Encaustic & Mixed Media

    • GALLERY


      Figurative paintings in encaustic (wax) and mixed media. My drawing is an appreciation of the life, personality, spirit and beauty of humanity. Rough charcoal lines beneath layers of diaphanous color describe the figures in environments, evoking a personal narrative. We become voyeurs, peeking at protagonists through a magic colored window. The “back and forth” of additive collage imagery, the carving, and coloring of wax marries with encaustic’s mysterious depth and transparency to add a frisson of excitement to the still and quiet worlds before us.

    • #timetravel-

      from my journey series.

      Wolf-Hubbard's colorful collages are about the feelings and memories attached to places she has been or to which she can imagine having gone. She mentally travels to distant locales and time travels to different eras. Each postcard in Wolf-Hubbard’s work becomes a piece of a story that might have been; colors flow from her imaginings to breach the borders of the Mediterranean Sea or to bridges, roads and canals. The blur of colors and images suggests the speed of travel and the evanescence of the tourist’s experience. Thus we are privileged to follow her into her personal time and space and to make it our own. 

      Take a holiday, Let's
      Where birds fly
      GO there my way
      See ROME sometime AGAIN
      Not Adverse to Pleasure
      Time and Space
      She Went to France
      Swans
      IT takes you there
      Slow Train
      HERES WHERE i found it
      Seventy-two

Poems From Within is the first book in the series.

    • About my classes. Students say...

      Art class is non-negotiable. I'm not missing it! I thoroughly enjoy the class. You are a wonderful teacher and instructor.

      I needed this!

      "I just wanted to tell you that I couldn't sleep last night because I had all sorts of ideas running around in my head!

      Your class has unleashed my muse which has been quite silent these last four or five months. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration!

      Exceeded my expectations!

      I was successfully introduced to Encaustic and loved every second of it!

      I enjoyed the laid back running of the class

      Interesting instructor, very knowledgeable

      Very exciting and so many materials Marcie provided "...loads of ideas"

      Marcie is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging. She offered a good mix of didactic instruction and personalized suggestions

      She offered many different materials to work with and ideas to “stretch” the concepts of collage.

      Marcie was very knowledgeable and helpful. She has many different things for the class to use in their work and even brought in additional things specific to my project!

      Enjoyed learning a new technique and interacting with a gentle artist...

      I had a great time at your workshop. I wished it was 2 days too!​

      Paintings featured in, Encaustic in the Twenty-first Century by Ashley Rooney, with foreword by Kim Bernard, JAN 2016.

       

      mousetrapped. I’ve painted my mouse saga (desperate woman goes to great lengths to rid her house of mice) using recycled kitchen cabinet doors (15 doors) as a base for my mixed media paintings. The series ends with a flashback to 1983, from my journal documenting my first (unintentional) mousetrap. Convinced that i’m not alone with this predicament (war), i have invited the public to contribute their own mouse &/or rat tales.

       

      The Shiny Shell. A children's chapter book about a boy and a dolphin on a mission to save the oceans. An Eco-Adventure for ages 6 - 12 in Ebook & print. 

      "...it's a book that blends a rip-roaring adventure with important lessons about science and ecology, the emphasis being on the perils facing planet Earth from environmental disregard...and the illustrations, wow! Nothing ordinary about the wonderful art which nicely supports the flow of this story." "...Everyone in my family found the story quite compelling...we were absolutely enchanted by Marcie Wolf-Hubbard's lovely, dreamy illustrations! The Shiny Shell should be a perennial favorite for children -- or anyone who enjoys a tale that entertains as well as informs."
