Ken Eason is an artist deeply passionate about nature and natural processes. His connection to the natural world, whether experienced in the woods, along a shore, or in his backyard, inspires a sense of wonder and inner peace that he strives to capture in his paintings.
Eason’s work is characterized by his use of texture and the contrasts found in nature. He employs impasto techniques, using brushes, paint knives, spatulas, and other tools to create layered compositions. His recent work incorporates oil and encaustic mediums, combining beeswax, resin, and pigment. The encaustic method, which involves using natural beeswax and fire, allows Eason to add a unique texture to his paintings, often incorporating mixed media elements to enhance the depth and complexity of his work.
