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.
ABOUT ME
Marcie Wolf-Hubbard received her B.A. from the University of Maryland in Studio Art and studied Fine Art and Illustration at the Maryland Institute, College of Art. Her paintings have been exhibited widely on the East Coast. She has illustrated for magazines and books and worked as a courtroom artist.
Marcie is an instructor at Glen Echo Park, Yellow Barn Studio and Smithsonian Associates. She also teaches art in her studio.
Marcie and her husband, David Hubbard, have collaborated on a children's book, "The Shiny Shell," an eco-adventure book about a boy and a dolphin on a mission to save the oceans. They are currently working on a book of David's short stories and poems and Marcie's encaustic (hot wax) paintings, which have inspired David's writing. Poems From Within is the first book in the series.

Poems from Within, An Artistic Exphrasis. Paintings by Marcie Wolf-Hubbard. Poems by David Hubbard. DEC 2015.

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."
