In-Town Gallery features Margaret Park’s demonstration of encaustic painting technique on Saturday, Oct. 19 from noon-4 p.m. 

"Encaustic is an ancient artist's medium that has undergone a resurgence in the 21st century. Margaret is well known for her abstract and semi-abstract paintings in encaustic," organizers said.

“I am calling my demonstration 'Earth, Wax and Fire,'" said Ms. Park, “because all three things must be present when working in this medium. The pigments come from the earth, and those pigments are bound with wax.
The wax is made workable with fire. While it sounds as if it would be fragile, encaustic paintings are permanent when properly cared for. It’s a fascinating process, and I love to show it to people.” 

A lifelong artist, Ms. Park said, “I was born in West Virginia, grew up in Chicago, learned a lot in the suburbs and am blooming in Tennessee. A trail of paint was left behind through it all.” 

Showing the work of local artists, In-Town Gallery is located "Between the Bridges" on Chattanooga’s North Shore at 26A Frazier Ave. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and from noon-5 p.m. on Sundays.
