Encaustic Art

Each encaustic 'painting' begins life as a white piece of cotton fabric. Fiber reactive dyes are applied to the fabric and the resulting 'landscape' is glued to a wood panel. 

To prepare the encaustic medium, I melt together beeswax and damar resin - a hardening and stabilizing agent. Once cooled, this mixture is then reheated to approximately 225 degrees F and applied to the fabric surface. As the wax cools, it is smoothed and manipulated to create interesting textures. 

Paintings also contain my original photographic images printed on Japanese paper which are embedded into the wax surface. Additional encaustic medium completes the process. Following light hand buffing, the piece is placed into a floating frame to create a wonderfully luminescent painting.


Contact me to inquire about purchasing a beautiful encaustic piece.
