Meet the
Artist

I’m an artist and educator working from my studio in the Supawna Meadows Nature Preserve in South Jersey. My background in visual communications, art history, and art education shapes how I approach materials, structure, and process. I lead workshops and run Supawna Studio, where making and teaching intersect in an evolving, hands-on practice. My work has been supported by regional and national arts organizations, and I continue to explore how creative work and teaching inform one another.

About the
Work

I create encaustic paintings shaped by the movement, warmth, and luminosity of molten beeswax. The medium’s fluid nature allows me to build and remove layers, revealing traces of earlier marks and creating surfaces that hold both clarity and mystery. Organic forms, shifting translucency, and subtle textures encourage viewers to slow down, look closely, and experience a quiet moment of reflection. Each piece offers space for discovery—an invitation to linger with what emerges through heat, wax, and time.

Testimonials

Sandra Koberlein’s encaustic work brings abstraction to life through layered color, recurring circular forms, and subtle texture. Her thoughtful palettes and geometric balance create a sense of both movement and stillness, while the circle serves as a unifying symbol of continuity and connection. Her paintings are visually striking and deeply contemplative, inviting intuitive, emotional engagement.
— Sharon Kiefer, Curator & Gallery Director at Perkins Center for the Arts

Sandra Koberlein’s encaustic work radiates a signature soft glow, where bright, shapely color and rich texture reveal her deep understanding of the medium.
