Encaustic is an ancient technique of painting with hot beeswax, melted with resin and color pigment.

I paint many layers of the molten paint on a wood support, fusing each layer to the underlying one with a propane torch. This produces a painting that can never fade since the colors are permanently locked in the resin.  I often scrape away areas to reveal the underpainting. 

The fluidity of the encaustic medium is challenging, exhilarating, inspiring and exciting, making a painting that can be looked into as well as looked at. I strive for layered luminosity that is appealingly tactile, encouraging viewers to stoke and caress the surface, discovering the sensual experience of encaustic.

Make an appointment to see the paintings in person at my gallery/ studio,
