Lights Finds a Way

This original 4x6 encaustic wax painting is a small but powerful study in contrast. Creamy ivory wax layers and soft drips meet a bold black mark, topped with a flicker of gold leaf. The surface is richly tactile with scraped texture and pooled wax. Finished in an ornate vintage-style gold frame. 

What is encaustic wax?

Encaustic is an ancient painting process made with beeswax fused with pigment and sealed with heat. Layers are built and melted together to create a durable, glowing surface with natural depth and texture.
