Hope Lives: Art for ALS
Research Renderings

A collaboration between IEA & Hope Lives: Art for ALS 

Research Renderings includes forty-three stunning artworks created by 29 wax-media member artists of International Encaustic Artists. Members were invited to review and select one ALS research photograph to inspire up to three new artworks. The resulting exhibition is thematically cohesive and relates to how a person's body is affected by an ALS diagnosis: muscle tissue atrophy, spinal cord nervous system collapse and the loss of brain neuron and synapse function. 

Some of the artists focused on the duality that is present in the research images - the beauty and the destruction. Others reflected on ideas like transformation, hope, the role of a caregiver and the ALS community. All participating artists applied with artwork that was studied, thoughtful, technically advanced and emotive. We sincerely thank each artist for their heartfelt contributions. 

Contributing Artists: Gwen Anderson, Karen Buttwinick, Tracy Cassagrande Clancy, Joy DeNicola, Karen Faller, Conrad Reis Fernandez, Anne Fjeld, Isabelle Gaborit, Rinat Goren, Nash Hyon, Jennifer Kerszetes, Lyn Kirkland, Carol Lelivelt, Roxane Mayeur, Deborah Paulsen, Cherie Peters, Tami Phelps, Regina B.
