Art Auction to Help Terminall Ill Southern Sweets Bakery Founder

Butterflies for the Nancy Cole Care (Founder of Southern Sweets Bakery) Fund Ebay Auction

Nancy, and her husband, were brief art students of one of our encaustic workshops. Her energy made such an impact on us. Her excitement and creativity was moving. It was a joy having her in our class and pleasure meeting her and her husband.

Nancy’s cancer treatment was halted this year, and she was transferred home where she’s receiving constant care.

Nancy’s insurance does not cover all of Nancy’s care. “...But anybody with a heart can’t send their family member to...a facility – we just wanted to keep her at home,” said Trish Smith, General Manager of Southern Sweets.

Our goal is to help her meet her goal quickly...she’s almost there.

Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The hot liquid is then applied to a surface prepared wood panel, though other materials are often used. For instance the piece we are auctioning is encaustic wax with a variety butterfly collages. Each butterfly is decorated with jewels and beads with their wings slightly lifted to create a shadow of flight.

Please spread the word.
