"Guided by my heart, I paint with the natural elements of beeswax, pigments and fire; allowing me to infuse the mesmerizing beauty of nature into my art."
Message
I hold my breath that it is not just a pretty picture; that it has more to say than that.
There are no limits to the freedom and expression of Encaustic painting. The complex and labor-intensive process follows a similar process: Melt beeswax mixed with earth pigments and a natural tree resin call damar. Paint and lightly fuse with the low-flame of a torch. Repeat. There can be 50+ layers of beeswax in each of my Encaustic paintings.
