Freeing herself from fixed ideas, encouraging curiosity, and a willingness to embrace paradox sparks Ashton Lacy’s approach to artmaking. She begins her work never knowing how it may turn out.
What is “fixed” in her work is a strong love of color and the desire to encourage the viewer to take a second look. A love of luminosity and light led her to the use of encaustic as her primary medium with additions of mixed media and photographic silk-screened images. The transparency of the encaustic allows the viewer to see each work as a whole and to peek through to see the various layers.
Retired from the law, Ashton Lacy Jones has worked exclusively as an artist for the last 15 years. Her work has been presented at numerous galleries across Colorado and in the permanent collection of the Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe, NM. She creates in her Longmont studio, Boneyard Arts.
