Dayton based abstract artist Lori Daugherty enjoys exploring and experimenting with the encaustic medium. She finds that the encaustic medium provides a wealth of depth, breadth, and texture, with an added twist of mystery. Lori’s studio, called “Darty Art,” is located at the Front Street Buildings in downtown Dayton. She shares the space with her husband and fellow artist, Jon Daugherty.

Armed with an arsenal of torches, hot plates, and air compressors, Lori melds intricate layers of color with encaustic wax paints,
inks, and shellac. She desires to take the viewer on an enchanted adventure while following the painting’s path, embracing the
lines, the shapes, the color, and the texture.

Jon Daugherty

Dayton based creative Jon Daugherty has spent a lifetime turning creative solutions into a career. For nearly four decades, he has designed many of the products that you, your baby, or your dog may use every day. Using skills from the design trade, he likes to utilize his understanding of three-dimensional forms, various craft techniques with a range of materials, and the ability to communicate with illustrations. His work is varied, but with all of it he attempts to evoke a touch of emotion, a memory, or just a sideways smile based on whimsy. Jon is part of the "Darty Art" gallery which he shares with his wife, Lori, at Front Street Art District.
