Rooted in the ancient art of encaustic, my practice embraces process, material, and emotional presence. What began as a spontaneous introduction became a mindful exploration into depth, texture, and calm. I layer molten wax with rhythmic brushwork and carving to create serene, meditative compositions that invite stillness and reflection. Guided by neutral palettes and intuitive gesture, each piece echoes themes of resilience, memory, and transformation—crafted as visual environments that soothe, center, and reconnect.
