I am excited to share with you my collection of work. These pieces reflect the order various stages of my journey with encaustic painting. After a long break from the fine arts, I found myself needing to disconnect from the daily barrage of technology. So, I taught myself the basics of encaustics, and I began experimenting. I enjoy exploring the texture, translucent quality, and fluidity that can be achieved through the medium. Most of my paintings are inspired by observations made during my daily commute and travels and the emotions these experiences invoke.

Encaustic is a wax-based paint made of beeswax, resin, and pigment. The mixture is heated to about 170 degrees Fahrenheit and kept at a molten state for painting. The encaustic paint is applied to a rigid surface. After each layer is applied, the piece is fused by a blowtorch or heat gun. This technique creates a unique texture and vibrancy that's difficult to reproduce in other mediums.

Caring for your encaustic painting:
Encaustic work should be cared for as you would any fine art piece. This includes keeping the painting out of direct sunlight and avoiding extreme temperatures. Encaustic can be wiped clean with a soft lint-free cloth.
