Besides choosing it for its sensual and tactile beauty, I use it because I want to preserve the environment. These encaustic works explore the moment of embarking—the decision to move forward into unfamiliar terrain—through layered bands of wax and pigment that evoke shifting horizons and passage. The process of fusing each layer through heat mirrors this theme, emphasizing commitment, transformation, and the ongoing nature of discovery.”
