Five years ago I turned to beeswax, and I have not looked back. When I am playing with fire (literally), pigments, papers, and texturing tools, I dwell on the people I cherish and their stories. This focus brings me to my most meditative state. My musings translate into encaustic pieces by way of colors, textures, or embedded objects.

Life is short, and the most important part is the ones you love. They are the voices in my head, the laughter in my memories, and the happiness in my heart. I hope that is what comes across in the stories of my paintings.
