Belle Ame
Belle Ame
Encaustic Sculpture and Mixed Media
Belle Ame means "beautiful soul" in French. This piece was created as a tribute to all of the souls that were lost due to the COVID19 Pandemic. The fringed cardboard represents each of the lives that expired because of this virus. "Belle Ame" was inspired not only to help the survivors grieve their loved ones, but also to know that they are not alone. This sculpture was created using fringed cardboard netting and cardboard packing dipped in encaustic paint. The sculpture is sewn together with encaustic dipped string and lightly fused with a butane torch. Rusted bolts, toile and feathers attached with copper wire and threads.

To say that Trudie's encaustic pieces inspire is an understatement. For me, her work stirs emotion, curiosity and a deep dive into "how does this speak to me?" I believe her art is powerful and never fails to open inner doors.

We own several pieces of Trudie's art and every one has its own distinctive quality. Her work has such striking texture and color, we notice something new each time we view them.
