Spectacular paintings that reach beyond the board and stir the imagination.
Andrew brings the viewer into an organic land or skyscape unlike any other. Rich layered textures of imagination, bees wax, fibres, wood, metal and other materials are used in combination to tell a story about “life below the surface” and “the roots that ground the world above”. He then continues to compose beyond the board, with additional materials carefully placed to reach out and add dimension to the piece, taking the eye on a detailed visual journey. Along the way, the work progresses from a painting to a sculptural piece.
Andrew also offers 1 and 2-day Encaustic Painting Workshops year-round.
His Studio: Andrew Csafordi Studio Gallery / www.andrewcsafordi.com
LISTEN TO MIX 97.1 from November 28 to December 2 during morning trivia and you could win a $50 gift certificate to be used towards the purchase of one of Andrew’s paintings (many sizes and prize ranges available) or towards an encaustic painting workshop experience.

Weekends from November 19 to December 4th, Huff Estates Winery will be offering a unique opportunity to taste and buy some old vintage wines from their library, including past gold medal winners and other wines which are no longer available on the shelves.
