Getting Hands-On with
Encaustics

a peek into my studio....

​

I am currently creating encaustics art with beeswax and encapsulating my photography in some of the pieces.

 

I continue taking lessons and exploring through trial and error as I discover and find my way through this unique process.

The images shared here are of what I'm doing in my studio

​

 I have always craved the idea of creating more with my hands and creating one of a kind pieces!

 

 I will add more here as I grow and learn. I prefer the encaustics as the natural wax has such a soft translucent feeling.

Please check back and see how I am progressing, once I am happy with my work, I will list the pieces on my site for sale.

Feel free to comment!
