My painting, Apple, will be displayed as part of the member’s exhibition at Baltimore Woods Nature Center next month.
It is from my encaustic trees series.
The show starts November 3, 2026 and ends December 18, 2026 with a reception on November 7, 2026 from 2:30 – 4:00 PM.
My painting, Jaune, was selected for exhibition at Main Street Arts, 20 West Main Street, Clifton, Springs, NY 14432. The juried show begins November 7, 2026 with an opening reception from 3:00 – 6:00 PM, and ends on December 23, 2026.
My painting is 12″ x 12″, which is the largest size allowed for this Small Works show. There will be over two hundred artists represented at the event – my guess is it will be hung salon style.
Jaune is named for Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. I used to do an 8th grade art lesson about her using her horse paintings, hence the addition of the horseshoe. And the yellow background is to do with jaune being the word for yellow in French.
Jaune is from my collection called The Robes. There are six dozen different paintings in this series. I am working on connecting with the perfect gallery to display the collection in its entirety. Meanwhile, I’m planning to create at least a dozen more – I just don’t feel like I’ve exhausted the concept yet. I just love them soooo much!
I am preparing an art activity, which involves golf balls, for my pretend grandchildren.
I have been hiking in an area that is rife with wayward golf balls. I was gifted as many as two dozen of them recently by the weed-whacking groundskeeper and the rest I found on the other side of the street relatively far from the actual golf course.
The children are my friend Elaine’s actual grandchildren and they will be visiting me next month. They all live in Florida and are looking forward to experiencing a New York autumn. I think it will be the first time for the littles.
I’m painting the golf balls now and they will help me finesse them into ladybugs, jack-o-lanterns, spiders and bumblebees for starters.
Then we plan to go for hikes and hide them in the woods for other children to find and enjoy. I am certain they will love this. They will be like little Banksys – artsy stealths. So fun!
The balls need several coats of this special acrylic paint meant for outdoor items so the prep work is…a lot. Currently, my kitchen is a mini disaster area and I am okay with that because my prototypes are better than I thought they would be. I need to hop over to the craft store tomorrow to pick up a few supplies. I mean – who has a stockpile of black pipe cleaners handy?
I just finished the second set of thirty-six (three dozen) robes! They are 12″ x 12″ hardboard mounted on cradled hardboard. I am so delighted with them. I feel like making more but I will, instead, clean up the art studio, put away all the unused ribbon and store the paintings in acetate sleeves until I find the perfect place to exhibit them all together.
I am honored to have been selected for this group exhibition at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (137 East Ave., Rochester, New York 14604). Fire & Form – Encaustic Work From Across New York State is a juried exhibition! My painting is titled “Mustang Dance”. A man I chatted with said it looked like something you would find in an ancient Roman villa.
The reception started at 6:00 PM. Penny and I were the first to arrive. I managed to take these pictures before it got super crowded in there.
I am really impressed with the variations in technique, color, texture and style. It’s a magnificent show!

Regina B Quinn is an encaustic artist residing in the Northern Catskill Mountains of New York. Regina serves as President of International Encaustic Artists and Director of Grant Initiatives.

Encaustic, as a medium, is both durable and radiant. It aligns powerfully with both contemporary abstraction and New York’s longstanding landscape traditions. This exhibition aims to demonstrate that vitality and mark the beginning of a defining platform for encaustic artists across New York State.
Three awards have been selected by the juror for excellence in wax media.
Rochester Art Supply (2 awards): Gift Certificates worth $200 each

I am so in love with the way my new exhibition (The Lotus Series) looks on the walls and tables in the Lawson Room at the Canastota Public Library. So grateful for having been welcomed back – and this time for two months (and one week!).
Thank you, Bill!
The library director purchased this amazing hardware that made my new installation at the Canastota Public Library so much better than my previous show.
Six dozen paintings (minus one that I left on a table easel in my living room) are now on display in the Lawson Room. These are encaustic, mixed media & collage paintings of flowers. They started off as lotus flowers but then I sort of branched out via the titles (Lily, Thistle, etc.). I created all the paintings this year. All are 8″ x 10″ on cradled hardboard and framed.
All paintings are available for sale. Contact information is listed in the literature.
The artwork will be featured at the library through October 2026. The Lawson Room is located in the basement of this Andrew Carnegie built library and can be accessed during library hours. There are many clubs and activities scheduled for this room in the coming months. They sound like a lot of fun – exercise classes, a writer’s group, bridge, a knitting and crochet club and lots more.

Still working on this second set of thirty-six 12″ x 12″ encaustic, mixed media & collage Robes. Getting closer to finishing – my goal is to have them done by the end of the month.
I also revised three paintings from the first series. Eventually, I will rephotograph them and upload these new versions here. I need to sit with them for a bit to make sure I am happy with them.
Meanwhile, I’m installing another Canastota Public Library show on Monday. And the group encaustic show at Rochester Contemporary Art Center begins on Friday. “Mustang Dance” is there.
Oh, and my exhibition at Hazard Branch Library continues through August 31st.
Hazard Branch Public Library is the latest location to host my artwork.
The library is located at 1620 W. Genesee Street, Syracuse, New York 13204. They open at 9:00 AM every day except for Sunday. It is the perfect place to showcase large paintings.
I brought these nine 36″ x 36″ target pieces out of the archives. I made a dozen of them – sold one and kept two at home, as they are hanging on walls in my house. I created them all in 1997 during a stint as a Master Teacher for the NYS Summer School of the Arts, which was housed at Cazenovia College that year. These oil & collage paintings are framed in maple ($ 1,600).
In addition, you can find eighteen paintings from my series called Talisman. These are also targets and are oil, chalkboard & collage, 18″ x 24″ – not framed ($ 400).
The show concludes on August 31, 2026.
Thirty-six more paintings! I started them today. Created twelve new stencils. Added the wax to the hardboards. Traced the stencils onto the boards.
I will be taking down my art exhibition at the Fayetteville Free Library on Thursday and travelling to Rochester to deliver a painting to the Rochester Contemporary Art Gallery on Friday.
The following week I will be installing a show at the Hazard Branch library then it’s back to the Canastota Public Library during September and October, and then back to the Hazard Branch during November!
Can’t wait to get immersed in the process of making the new robes! Stay tuned….
I just returned from installing my latest art exhibition. This one is at the Fayetteville Free Library, 300 Orchard Street, Fayetteville, NY 13066. The artwork will be on display through the month of July 2026.
There are six dozen 8″ x 8″ encaustic & collage paintings in this series. They are part of my bigger arch – creating a multi-cultural kingdom where everyone is welcome and everyone gets to choose their place in the dream, selecting their level of participation. In this world, there is only happiness and joy – no complaints, no violence, no illness, no misery.
I’ve incorporated international coins and stamps, origami and mulberry papers, embroidery floss, tartan ribbons, gold enamel and game pieces. The vintage elements create a feeling of nostalgia, as well as a sense of deja-vu.
Last year it took me six hours to work out the site plan, move the apparatus around and install a similar amount and sized series. This time I clocked it at four and a half hours. Thank you, Laurie Heyboer, for ordering more hooks. It was so much easier to mount the show! I appreciate you!!!
