Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Original Artwork for Sale - I have many incredible adventurous stories from my 3-week visit to Thailand! Most of these images were taken as I ventured North to Sukhothai: the name itself means “Dawn of happiness”. I spent one very happy afternoon exploring the ruins on a bright orange bicycle. The Sukhothai Historical Park is the medieval capital of Sukhothai and contains nearly 200 ruins over roughly 30 miles. Inspiration found me dancing in the light of the ancient statues, pagodas and stupas.
What is Encaustic? The word encaustic originates from the Greek word enkaustikos which means to burn in; all encaustic paintings integrate the element of heat. The paint itself is a mixture of beeswax, damar resin, and colored pigments. Beeswax is nature’s archival material, it is water resistant and will not yellow or darken over time. Encaustic originals are created in many layers, entirely by hand and are, by nature, completely unique. First, I carefully sand the edges and apply a foundation of gesso to the wood, then I adhere recycled book pages on the edges of the board followed by a light brush with gold paint. Each hand-printed photograph is mounted to wood using archival matte medium, and sealed with the first layer of wax. Subsequent layers of color and texture are fused together with a heat gun. The composition is fine-tuned with a palette knife to shape and manipulate the wax once it has cooled onto the surface.
