ENCAUSTIC ART - ORIGINAL PHOTO WOOD BLOCKS
|
|
My encaustic process refers to the application of a combination of beeswax and damar resin over a photographic image. This wax is a translucent white/cream color, giving the image an interesting dreamy surface quality. I print my original images on archival paper and mount them om cradled wood panels, then coat them with the wax mixture. Each piece is unique in luster, density, brush strokes and surface variations. |

The use of wax to create and preserve art has been around for centuries. Encaustic painting was practiced by Greek artists in the 5th century B.C. and was revived briefly in the 1700's. I love being a part of this history, combining my original images with this ancient process. |
