The Dream Side Collection

The Dream Side Collection of Original Encaustic Paintings by Katie J Stephenson

I’m excited to share my newest collection of paintings. Over the last few months, I’ve been working on a group centered around the bit of land we see when we look out across Lake Mendota in Madison. It's my daily dose of inspiration, and I feel incredibly lucky to lay my eyes on it each day. Nature has a way of keeping things interesting—the view is never the same from one day to the next. Some days, it's a mystery where the water ends and the sky begins—pure magic.

I brought pieces from this collection with me to two fun events this fall. First up was Gallery Night at State Line Distillery on November 3rd. The evening was cozy and cool—as you can only expect at State Line. It was so much fun sharing stories and the inspiration behind each piece with both old friends and new.

The second event was last week at Nakoma’s Jingle and Mingle. It was a really fun night with a great mix of people with different talents and passions to bring. I saw many familiar faces and also met the most lovely new friends and collectors. Both events were a great reminder of how important community is.

Holiday 2023 Original Handmade Encaustic Painted Ornaments

I also have a few of these handmade ornaments left to share with you. I had so much fun making these tiny works of art. I just love how it’s acceptable to add a bit more sparkle and shine to everything this time of year.

Each ornament is unique, tied up with a silk ribbon, and packaged in a cute little box—perfect for gifting. Plus, enjoy a flat rate of $5 for shipping within the US when you select the ' $5 Ornament Flat Rate Shipping' option at checkout.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday filled with warmth, joy, and gratitude. I’m grateful for you.

Love, KJS
