I am a mum, counsellor ,practitioner in the disability sector and small business owner. I have been an artist since I was young and creativity runs through everything I do. I’ve always painted with acrylics or oils and loved printmaking. Over the last 2 years I have discovered painting with encaustic wax, and I have found my medium. The wax is malleable and rich, allowing me to build up surfaces with layers of wax and then work back through them with any object I like. The surface can be reworked in an instant and builds up possibilities for the process to take me where it will. When I connect with a place, it becomes part of me. Landscape and objects are my thing.
