Starlight Artist Insights Podcast with Christine Sajecki
As someone who finds so much joy in speaking with artists and hearing about their personal and business experiences I knew I had to start recording my conversations to allow others to get a glimpse of what lights me up so much. I’m not kidding, after my calls I dance around with so much energy!
Inside this episode, I dive into an interview with artist Christine Sajecki and we discuss:
How to stay inspired as an artist living through 2020
What 2021 will bring
Why sometimes selling your artwork brings out other emotions other than joy
Times when art has breathed life back into her world
And much more!

Christine Sajecki is an artist practicing in Baltimore, Maryland. She mostly works in encaustic, a malleable and sculptural paint made of beeswax, pigment, damar resin, and other materials harvested from her environment. She works the surfaces with brushes, torches, gouges and blades. Sajecki brings this process of excavation and accretion of surface to other media and drawings as well.
Her paintings have been included in many juried and solo exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. Her work appears in print in several albums, periodicals, and books of poetry and fiction. She has been a guest lecturer, teacher, or resident artist at several institutions and community centers nationally and internationally, including the American Visionary Art Museum, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Clayton State University, the Creative Alliance at the Patterson, The Providence Center for Adults with Disabilities, Maryland Institute College of Art, Savannah College of Art and Design, and FundAHrte in Panama City, Panama.
Sajecki is currently continuing her encaustic painting studio practice and working on a series of children's books with long time collaborator, Baltimore writer Joseph Young.
