Jaya King is a professional artist and California native based out of Sacramento who has been showing, teaching, and demonstrating her work since 2003. Her dynamic encaustic paintings marry both balance of technique and personal connection to the viewer. Her love affair with encaustic extends far beyond the gallery wall. Jaya regularly lectures across the Bay Area with an emphasis on technique, personal growth and exploration through painting. Her popular hands-on painting workshops give students the opportunity to grow as artists and express their individuality. She has been featured in Sacramento’s Inside Publications magazine. Her work has been published in Splash 11: New Directions, Incite 3: The Best of Mixed Media, and in Art Journey Animals: A Collection of Inspiring Contemporary Masterworks. Jaya developed an encaustic scholarship program, which gives high school students the opportunity to explore this amazing medium. At age 24 she was invited to do a solo show at Stanford University and is in the permanent collection at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara.
