education & workshops
Alongside her studio practice at Treetops & Trillium Studio, Birgitt is an art educator. She brings the same attention to light, material, and place that shapes her paintings into classrooms, workshops, and community programs.
Whether guiding high school artists toward a first exhibition or talking process with fellow encaustic painters, her teaching emphasizes observation, layered process, and the joy of working with wax and color.
Birgitt has worked with high school artists in the Corning–Painted Post community, including student exhibition programs presented with The Rockwell Museum (such as Spark / Ignite the Imagination).
Active in the regional and national encaustic community, Birgitt is a participating member of the Working With Wax Roc/FLX group, a chapter of International Encaustic Artists (IEA).
Inquiries are welcome for workshops, demos, and talks on encaustic technique, mixed media, plein air practice, or the studio life of a working artist. Dates and formats can be tailored to schools, galleries, and community groups.
