On Pointe

12 x 12 x 5″

Encaustic and Resin

To reach a level dreamed of by many young ballerinas, this first pair of pointe shoes inspired the  “On Pointe” series of sculptures and paintings. Memories of dancing and teaching young ballerinas bring this sculpture to life, displaying the ballet shoes preserved with encaustic and resin, placed on a resin base with metallic pearl accenting laces and shoes.
