Keane’s Greens Encaustic Paints
collaboration between Erin Keane and Enkaustikos Paints
Green is associated with rejuvenation, vitality, and new beginnings.
These encaustic paints were developed by Kathryn Bevier, lead paintmaker at Enkaustikos Paints. The hues are inspired by my artwork Forest Bathing which captures my walking motions through forested trails. Walking in the woods centers me. It is my time to talk to the universe, ask questions and receive answers, and emerge with new ideas. The moving meditation is my form of daily transcendence, simultaneously calming and renewing.
Keane’s Greens are available worldwide through the Fine Art Store

Navigating Our Humanity
Southern Highland Craft Guild, Focus Gallery, Small Group Invitational
One day while drinking my morning tea, the caffeine awakened my inspiration along with opening my eyes. A series of sculptural books imprinted on my mind, fully formed in their structures.
I began by embedding the tea bags between layers of refined beeswax, surrounded by the aroma of tea and honey. The moving meditation of tearing pages and folding signatures helped clarify my intentions.
I began to navigate my humanity through the interaction of pages and covers. The book sculptures embraced my quiet nature, and at the same time reflected a new beginning, reaching for connection and expansion.

Woven in Threads of Spring | Woven in Threads of Autumn
The Universe Trail is my muse; it has inspired many artworks on daily hikes. Recently, while gathering brushstrokes with intentional camera movement, the vertical and horizontal elements reminded me of warp and weft. I wove them into photographic weavings in threads of spring and autumn.

Cadence by Erin Keane
The Universe Trail Series : Forever Etched, Ways of Knowing, Ask the Trees
The Universe Trail is where everything important happens. It is the trail that I hike most frequently and have conversations with the universe about topics that span from mundane molehills to massive mountains. It is the trail where we have nicknamed the landscape features: The Fish Pond; Lazy Cairn Creek; Barley Creek (BarCrickle); Sketchy Bridge; The Cave; Super Sketchy Bridge.
It is the trail that makes my day better, even if it was already a good day.
The Universe Trail witnesses my personal cadence, the flow and rhythm and pattern in which my everyday life is experienced. The artworks in this series were designed with a distinctive sequence and repetition of movement to reflect this cadence, each an individual and together united as a triptych.

“I believe artwork carries the love, energy, and emotion of the artist who created it. When making art, I have deep feelings of peace and happiness, and believe that energy transfers to the person viewing it. I hope The Quiet Hour brings a deep breath, solace, and sense of comfort.” Erin Keane
Between Time by Erin Keane
sculptural book : encaustic beeswax covers : 12 x 12 x 5 inches
The spiral symbolizes movement from our outer world, the consciousness, to our inner world, the soul. This inner world is where dreams occur, in sleep, in imagination, and in reverie. The pathway leads us to the same point again and again, but at a different level and with a new perspective.
