Charyl Weissbach is an impressionist encaustic painter combining hot wax and oil pigment as her medium. The imagery of her work conveys nature's vastness and its mysterious allure, which is a significant theme in her compositions. She tries to unveil an abstraction of nature's character, attempting to capture some of its infinite variations of color, shape, and ethereal beauty.

Her painting method often involves two diverse approaches in tandem. The first is a more traditional one in which she adheres to the plein air style of painting using oil paint on linen stretched over panel. The second technique is encaustic painting, which is performed in the studio, and involves the use of hot wax and oil pigments. The pigment and wax in combination with resin is applied with a brush, smoothed with a palette knife, or etched and drawn with a heated flow pen onto the surface. Sometimes the wax is poured onto the linen and then fused with heat onto the solid support. By trying to foster this continual dynamic process, she has been able to create a thematic style that depicts different subliminal effects of nature. She adheres to the impressionist style and the hot wax techniques because light, colors, textures, and luminosity that are present in nature are revealed with more intensity using these techniques.

Charyl has a BFA in painting and Art History from the Massachusetts College of Art. Her studio is located in the SOWA artist district in the South End of Boston where she is a participating artist in the semi-annual South End Open Studio event. She is a member of N.E.W.
