Encaustic art is a unique and ancient technique that involves painting with wax. This wax is a blend of beeswax and damar resin (a natural tree sap that acts as a hardening agent. In creating encaustic art, molten wax is applied to a surface, usually a wood board or wood board with a photograph adhered to it. Each layer is carefully heated with a torch or heat gun to fuse it with the one beneath, creating a luminous, textured surface that is rich in depth and detail.

The beauty of encaustic art lies in its versatility and the way it captures light, giving the artwork a three-dimensional quality. The wax can be sculpted, carved, and layered with other materials allowing for endless creative possibilities. Encaustic paintings are durable and long-lasting, and their rich texture or glossy shine make them a captivating addition to any art collection.

Assemblage art is made with some personally found, and some curated items like rusty metal, pretty little trinkets, watch parts, bones, vintage ephemera, and whatever else the universe throws at me. My art often explores themes of perception, time, transformation, emotion, and finding beauty in the mess - turning discarded or forgotten materials into something meaningful and beautiful.
