About me

ICONOESTRELLA.png

I am Mary Breshike an artist, wife, mother, grandmother,dental hygienist, art educator, diver. 

As an artist I dabble in pastels,encaustics and recently acrylics. Each medium has its own unique properties and  bring a sense of adventure and joy to me. Pastels, I find,  are the most reliable in the resulting art. Encaustic and acrylic pours allow for delightful surprises. I love to capture and create memories for my collectors. 

Pastels pure pigments in a stick

form. They can be applied to many 

different surfaces and are framed

under glass for preservation. 

 Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax and damar varnish to which colored pigments are added. The heated medium is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, or canvas.

Acrylic pour is a fun way to create with fluid paint. Pours are usually made by combining acrylic paint with a fluid medium to help it flow over the surface. Many techniques are used depending on the possible outcome desired.  

I started painting in 1982, first in oils

and then transitioned to soft pastels. I have studied

under master pastelist Marilyn Simpson

in Pensacola, Florida. I have painted and exhibited

all over the world. While on Okinawa I capture the island beauty, the ocean,tropical sunsets, the landmarks and the wonderful people.  

In 2022 I moved back to Florida where I am studying the beauty of the ocean and the local wildlife.

I look forward to continuing to create new works of art.
