They are inspired by the natural world and the cycles of life, death, and time.

 What is encaustic?

 

Encaustic painting is a process in which layers of pigmented bees wax (which contains damar resin crystals to promote hardening), are painted on to a surface and fused with a heat gun or torch.  Each time a layer is fused it becomes bonded and permanent to the previous layer. Collage layers can be heated in wax and burnished on, and images can be transferred onto the wax.
