"Creating Art with Fire" As an Encaustic artist, I apply a fired torch to fuse together layers of beeswax, resin and pigment to create abstract art.
Jodie Stejer is an Encaustic artist working from her Wood River Valley studio in Ketchum, Idaho: applying a fired torch to fuse together beeswax, resin and pigment to create abstract art.
Jodie moved from Corvallis, Oregon to play volleyball and attend Whitworth University. After college she married her husband, John, had two kids and worked as an Interior Designer for over 20 years. Oil and acrylic painting had always been a “hobby”, but upon becoming an “empty nester” Jodie knew she wanted to pursue encaustic art full time.
Encaustic art is a passion which Jodie is continually engaged in and captivated by. You can find her torching away at her art studio in beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho.
