Encaustics

I’ve officially stepped into the fascinating world of encaustic wax art, and this first series emerged during the fall of 2025. Each piece represents discovery, experimentation, and pure creative joy. I’m deeply grateful to the friends and teachers who introduced me to this beautiful and ancient medium—your guidance opened a whole new artistic chapter for me.

A Fork’s Tale

A Fork’s Tale

by Cindy Rodella-Purdy | Sep 8, 2025

A Fork's Tale

Published by Creative Cat Media, Inc.

Project Type: Published Book
Creative Roles: Book Layout, Design and Illustration
Media: Digital Illustration and InDesign Book Layout

A lively little fork endures the chaos during a workday in a diner,
from broccoli hats to tomato drops, until it finally returns to the warm, sudsy waves of his peaceful home. It’s a playful look at finding calm after the clatter.

Iddi Biddi Worlds

CR-IddiBiddi

I love creating Iddi Biddi Worlds. This is the first part of what I hope to be many series of my Iddi Biddi Worlds. My influences are Mary Blair, Dr. Seuss and Richard Scarry. Enjoy!

Prints will be available on-line. The originals can be purchases at Suntan Boutique.
