Encaustic and Oil Paintings
The art form of painting with hot bees wax and oil paint
combined with shellac burn to create organic, dream-like paintings.
I paint with oil and encaustic using a blow torch and brush to create dreamy, organic, paintings on long wood panels. Each encaustic piece is a combination of three of my passions, art, science and my love of nature. With each richly textured wood panel layered with wax and oil I explore the dichotomy of the world we see versus the world we imagine. I experiment constantly with this diverse medium, studying the intertwined relationship between humanity and nature, Macro vs Micro, Above and Below.
