Lissa Rankin, MD is a 16 year Muir Beach local whose art has been shown in some of the finest hotels, museums and galleries around the world. She works in encaustic art. Encaustic painters paint with pigmented beeswax, applied in molten form to wood panels and burned in archivally with blow torches and heat guns. It's one of the most beautiful art mediums and, as the ancient Greeks have proven, encaustic paintings can last thousands of years without losing their luminosity. If you are interested in learning more about it, you can find her textbook, Encaustic Art at Random House. She looks forward to following the footsteps of her daughter, Mira, who has participated in the fair for many years, but who is currently in Portugal.
