Salyna Gracie is an encaustic mixed media artist inspired by the layering of materials that explore questions of identity, memory, legacy and inheritance, weaving together themes of nature, mythology, mysticism, and spiritual awakening.
Artist Statement
As an artist, my creative practice is sourced from the connections between my inner world and my experience in the vast universe I belong to. These works are Jungian in nature, my own hero’s journey, as I navigate through times that feel untethered and undirected. The essence of my journey is to trust that the way will be revealed, and for me, the reliable signpost is light. Encaustic lends itself to a process of layering of materials that play with light, hiding or revealing deeper mysteries as each layer fuses to the whole. I look for those deeper connections, between the layers, always searching for points of connection, illuminating the narrative through light.
