The "Elephant Up Close" collection by Nancy Falconi captures the majestic presence of elephants in Tanzania, Africa, through a unique blend of photography, encaustic, and oil. Each black-and-white image is carefully transformed in Photoshop to ensure consistent tones and detail across the collection.

Printed on archival Hahnemühle photographic paper and mounted on wood panels, the photographs are enhanced with layers of encaustic wax, resin, and oil paint. This intricate process adds depth, texture, and richness, making each piece a one-of-a-kind artwork that invites you to connect with the beauty and strength of these gentle giants.
