What is encaustic?
Encaustic is an ancient art form that literally means 'to burn into.' The process involves layering encaustic paint, beeswax, damar resin, pigments, and other mediums that are handmade in-studio and the layers are then fused using heat or a butane torch. Despite requiring fire, it is an extremely versatile medium with the ultimate range of textures from buttery smooth to crater-like accretion. My pieces are a graphic exploration of this hypnotizing medium, circular themes, and contemplative simplification or chaos spaces.
