Contemporary Encaustic
Abstract.  Mindful.  Ancient technique.

I use beeswax and fire to create contemporary abstract paintings using the ancient technique of encaustic. The work has a heavy sculptural aspect and features uneven surfaces, cuts, cracks and chips; and often incorporates recycled materials. It is an exploration into the organic and raw nature of encaustic, a medium that begs to be layered, heated, carved, scraped and scratched and dictates both an additive and reductive creative process in an effort to expose itself in all of its forms.

The work is neutral in palette, architectural in style and organic in process and texture and aims to reflect my belief that art is transformative—a reflection point and acknowledgment of how powerfully we can actively create our own experience and how form affects and informs both ourselves and our space.
