As a photographer, Gretchen now incorporates the encaustic process into her current work. In 2019, she attended her first photo encaustic workshop, which was taught by Clare O’Neill of Minneapolis. She has a working encaustic studio in her garage apartment and has fallen in love with everything and anything encaustic. The majority of her photographic work reflects her passion for water.
