Transparent compensation, always.

Linda Frueh brings a background in physics and technology to her studio practice in San Diego. After earning a degree from MIT and training in metalsmithing and glass at the California College of the Arts, she shifted her focus to the tactile medium of encaustic. Her process involves layering molten beeswax, resin, and pigment to build depth and texture within abstract compositions. Her work investigates how materials change state, moving between fluid and solid forms. Beyond flat panels, she creates sculptural vessels made of fabric and dipped in encaustic, focusing on the visceral resonance of color. Her contributions to the field earned her a 2016 Emerging Artist Grant and led to solo exhibitions such as Echoes & Traces.

Visual voice

Frueh’s aesthetic is defined by the heavy texture of layered beeswax and the interplay of light through pigmented resin. She balances the structural precision of her scientific roots with the organic, unpredictable nature of molten materials and sculptural fabric forms.
