You are invited to meet Picco with her work at Penn Cove Gallery, 9 NE Front St., Coupeville, Sunday, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Picco considers herself a “layerist.” She starts her work with the subtle textures of monotype or her own photographs. Paying special attention to the mood or feeling she wants to convey, she continues with paint combined with her own papers. The next layer is the addition of encaustic painting, using a mixture of beeswax, damar resin and pure pigment. www.pattypicco.com
