You could say that photo encaustic is an alternative photographic process using mixed media. But it’s so much more than that, photo encaustic is a unique process that adds layers and layers of beeswax and pigments to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

At first the word encaustic might sound harsh. En-kaw-stick. Almost hazardous and industrial. It’s not. It’s actually the opposite as the translucency of the beeswax is magical, seductive, and intoxicating.

Don’t worry if you are a little apprehensive and haven’t tried anything like this before. Encaustic is incredibly forgiving and the best part is that you can always ‘undo’ what you did. intoxicating. 

If you are ready for exploration and creativity using your photographs, and are open to serendipity, then welcome to my world.
