Breaking the Pattern

This original 8x8 encaustic wax painting blends a bold black-and-ivory grid with luminous gold leaf and subtle cross marks—an abstract, geometric piece that feels both modern and devotional.

Thick, hand-built texture and soft drips create depth and movement, catching the light differently all day long. It’s a small statement artwork that looks incredible on a shelf, in a gallery wall, or as a meaningful gift.

What is encaustic wax? 
Encaustic is an ancient painting process where beeswax is fused with pigment using heat. Layers are built up, melted, and sealed, creating a durable, tactile surface with a signature glow and dimensional texture you can’t get with acrylic or print reproductions.
