Elise Wagner '95 considers living in a storefront in northeast Portland and driving around the city all day making deliveries real life for a beginning artist. The storefront gives her a place to paint and live; the delivery job is money for now. Her lifestyle may be curious, but Wagner's work is getting noticed-a defi– nite coup for an artist in her first year out of school. She has been in three group shows: at PSU's Autzen Gallery, the American Institute of Architects Portland chapter, and the Omni Gallery in Portland. She is working under contract at the Omni Gallery and expects to show her paintings again in October. Most recently, Wagner's work was chosen from among 240 applicants to tour the state with 33 other works in Oregon State University's "Art About Agriculture." Wagner paints in encaustic, a process of mixing molten wax with pigment and fusing it with heat to the surface she is working on. Since graduation, her work has sold consistently, earn– ing her more than $9,000. It's not enough to live on, says Wagner, but driving all day provides additional income as well as the solace needed to be creative in the evenings.
