Artist's Spotlight: Carolyn Fox-Hearne

Profile:

I am an instructor of visual arts, Gallery Director, & Symposium Coordinator at Kilgore College. I teach Drawing I, Design I, Painting I, Painting II, Art History I, Art History II, Art Appreciation (both lecture and online), & Academic Cooperative.

I received a B.A. in Spanish and Art at SMU in Dallas, and an M.A. in interdisciplinary studies focasing primarly in Art at the University of Texas at Tyler. I have done graduate art studies at Long Island University in South Hampton, N.Y.

I taught at LeTourneau University for 10 years, was Director of the Longview Museum of Fine Arts for 4 years, and have taught at Kilgore College for almost 10 years.

I have exhibited my work in various shows throughout the U.S.

I grew up in several countries around the world, with my father being Agricultural Attache for the U.S. Embassy. I continue to travel and study abroad almost annually.

Although I still sculpt and paint in oil & acrylic , I am really enjoying the medium of encaustic. I started studying the techniques as I taught Art History. I wanted to see how the Egypto-Roman mummy portraits were executed. I got hooked!

Being a member of Texas Wax has been great!
