Encaustic Art

Encaustic art is a unique form of painting using hot wax and pigments. Dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times, this art form has gained popularity in contemporary art circles for its versatility and texture. My artistic senses were captured by its smooth, silky surfaces that entices viewers to touch. Its malleability also allows me to embed photographs, pieces of fabric, discarded metal pieces, or any number of "treasures" found on my daily walks.
