I am inspired by the unique qualities of beeswax and pigment to create multi-layered works of art. The organic nature of the medium adds depth and texture to my pieces, while the incorporation of my photography provides a narrative element. My goal is to capture a sense of place and feeling through the use of color, light, and texture. I find the encaustic process to be meditative and therapeutic, allowing me to experiment and push boundaries while staying true to my vision. Through my art, I strive to bring the beauty and fragility of the world to the forefront and encourage viewers to reflect on their own experiences and emotions.
