Welcome to my website. I am Mary Breshike a pastelist and now I am adding the explosion of encaustics to my work, please see the new page entitled encaustics .

 Pastels are pure pigments in a stick form. They can be applied to many different surfaces and are framed under glass for preservation. I started  painting in 1982, first in oils and transitioned to pastels. I have studied under master pastelist Marilyn Simpson in Pensacola Florida. I have painted and exhibited all over the world. Living in Okinawa has allowed me to capture the island beauty, the ocean, tropical sunsets, the landmarks and the wonderful people. 

My art is available for purchase. I sell 5x7's prints for $18.50,  8x10's for $32.50 and larger size prints, as well as the original pieces.My prints are available for purchase at the gift shops on Okinawa or interested buyers can contact me directly.  

                                                                  

 I look forward to continuing to create new works of art. Please visit the website often for upcoming shows and sales and new artwork!  Please

e-mail me if you are interested in purchasing any of my work.
