Roxane Mayeur
Biographical Info Mixed-media artist Roxane Mayeur layers symbolic imagery with abstracted patterns from nature and the urban environment. She gravitates toward traditionally undesirable objects such as rust, weeds, peeling paint, broken windows, and abandoned buildings. Her work explores the aesthetics of decomposition and dormancy, elevating the common and overlooked to the sacred. Roxane works in the wax-based media of encaustic; consisting of layers of molten beeswax and tree resin, as well as cold wax medium. The layered wax surfaces can be highly textured and opaque or transparent and luminous. Roxane adds both vibrant colors and muted earth tones by embedding mixed media such as oil paint, dry pigments, marble dust, graphite, ink, and digital photography into the wax layers. Each piece employs an element of chance, making it unique and visually dynamic. Roxane Mayeur is a mixed media artist residing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is an active member of the visual arts community. For the past ten years she has worked almost exclusively with wax-based media. For more information please visit: roxartmke.com
