My encaustic paintings are abstractions of organic forms, painted free-hand from imagination. Much of the line work is created by inlaying pigmented wax into carved lines and burnishing in ‘draw-through’ prints on tissue to add texture and different line weights. I approach each piece without a pre-conceived idea of what it will look like – instead, I let the painting grow naturally through the process of layering and decision making, adding and eliminating, receding portions and creating new imagery.
