I wanted to share part of my process of transforming the photography & digital art images I created into original artworks that make  unique, one of a kind works of art.

 

I merge the ancient art of encaustic painting with beeswax and damar resin with the modern technical achievements captured through digital photography.

 

Painting in photoshop is more than just pressing buttons and adding filters.  It truely is an art form of it's own and should be respected as such.  There is so much that can be done through digital processes when an artist is set free.

 

I am able to take the digital paintings I create a step farther and embelish them with semi precious stones and other adornments.  Here is where I am able to merge science and spirituality and create the artwork that resonates with my soul.  I create artwork for uplifting places and spaces.  

 

Personally I have always been drawn to both science and spirituality.  I love many cultures and people.  I see the unity in us all, I see how we are more alike than different.  I see we all want, need and thrive on love and positive energy.  My desire it to share that through art.  I want to entrain with positive people and energy.  That is where my attention is focused.

 

Sometimes when people take in my art they ask 'What is it?"  It doesn't fit into a familiar box of the past, but touches upon many.  People seem to get confused when something new comes along.

 

So I thought I would share some of the process of what I am doing to give a better understanding of how each of these Encaustic Mixed Media Pieces are birthed.  

 

Layers and layers of meaning, scientific techniques, spirituality, Hado work, sacred geometry, semi precious stones, digital art, photography, film outakes and music are merged during the burning in process in a modern merging of disciplines spanning thousands of years.

 

Here are a few before and after pictures.  The digital artwork is on the left and the final encaustic mixed media artwork is on the right.  Notice how they are similar and different, sort of the way I feel about people.  We are different and the same.

 

Please enjoy with love and light,
