Jay Ressler
Photography, Works on Paper and Encaustic Art
Many of Jay Ressler’s best-known photographs are composites based on his original captures put together in multiple layers to produce stunningly original, interleaved images. Ressler’s endeavors also include extensive work with infrared photography.
He occasionally extends his multi-layered approach to encaustic mixed media creations. Based on ancient techniques, he cooks his own recipes of beeswax and damar resin to produce an exquisite patina when combined with photographs.
He regularly exhibits in local venues. His composite photograph “The Love Bugs” was chosen for the Art of the State exhibition at the State Museum of Pennsylvania several years ago.
