Description

Beautiful Mo-Ku-Hsien, Taoist Faery in Japanese folklore, is collaged under layers of encaustic wax, which swirl around her in colors drawn from her beautiful robe. Golden lanterns light her way through the hazy fog.

Encaustic comes from the Greek word "enkaustikos" which means "to burn (in)" and is an ancient form of art. Each melted wax layer is mixed with resin for strength and body. An encaustic art piece is made up of many layers and uses clear wax or natural wax (which has a warm yellow tint) and wax paint which also includes resin.. Special brushes are needed. The surface of the finished piece is either smooth or textured.

Who I am:
I am mostly a self-taught artist, and have sharpened my skills by learning in workshops with several successful artists. My style is my own. I love color and am happiest producing something that will resonate with the viewer.
