My recent collection of 3D encaustic paintings showcase meticulously hand-formed floral and organic shapes that emerge from a solid white or colored background. The delicate organic flowers juxtapose intricate shapes with vibrant bursts of color layered throughout the composition. I especially enjoy the rich texture, depth, and vivid hues I can achieve by incorporating pan pastels, shellac and alcohol ink into the wax before sculpting the forms. The combination allows me to mimic the complexity of color and variety found in nature while creating a multi-dimensional effect. By embracing natural beeswax and resin in my practice, I find myself drawn to a responsible and eco-friendly way of creating art that helps to reduce my environmental footprint. It also serves as an homage to the vital role bees and pollination have in maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystem. For me, the ancient art of encaustic painting has become more than just a medium; it’s a means to honor and respect the planet in my daily art practice
