What is Encaustic

Recently I had an exhibition at the Arts Cafe at the Gold Coast City Gallery.  I exhibited 10 Encaustic paintings.

When asked about my art practice, I usually tell people that the latest passion in my artwork is that I have begun exploring the art of Encaustic.   Many people have not heard of beeswax being used in artwork, and I am frequently asked, “What is Encaustic”.  Click on the link below to see my post about the fascinating art of Encaustic.  Feel free to leave a comment, or to ask a question.

Here are a few examples of some of my Encaustic paintings from my Transition Series.  Many more can be found on my website in The Last Fleet, Serendipity Series and my Miscellaneous folders -
