Lara Williams (she/her/hers) is a multidisciplinary artist working with encaustic, an ancient medium consisting of molten beeswax, tree resin, and pigments.  She creates abstract landscapes building up layers of the wax-based medium, embedding other materials, and scraping away the layers as though tracing the quiet rhythms of the earth, mimicking natural forces like erosion, growth, and decay.  Her tools range from brushes and carving tools to heated hot plates, butane torches, heat guns, and her camera, which helps her capture the places that spark new ideas. 

Lara resides in Hull, MA, and conducts her art practice at both her home studio and at the ET Wright Bldg., Rockland MA.   
Her works are held in public and private collections across the United States.
