Guest Speaker: Dominique Gustin

From Pixels to Beeswax: Evolving a Hybrid Practice in Contemporary Digital Collage and Encaustic Painting

   

Dominique Gustin is a multi-disciplinary artist working across photography, digital and mixed media, encaustic painting, poetry, contemporary collage, video and sound.  She created Somnmigratory Studio to share her contemporary digital collage and encaustic paintings. Dominique studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been making art and working in the arts for over thirty years. She lives in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

In this presentation, Somnmigratory Studio artist Dominique Gustin shares the development of her artistic process, combining photography, AI generated image fragments, and digital software with the physicality of encaustic painting. She will discuss how these techniques intersect, evolve, and ultimately inform the final artwork. Participants will gain insight into the workflow, materials, and creative decision-making behind her contemporary mixed-media practice.
