The original work for Black and White Study measures 30 inches square. It was painted on wood cradled panel. I mixed the beeswax, tree resin and pigment at times by hand. I also used Torch brand black and graphite in this work. Torch was the original maker of encaustic paint. My friend Dorothy Masom gifted me a collection of this rare paint.
For this site, I am making fine art prints available for sale. Printed on museum-quality, acid-free 100% cotton rag paper. Hand-crafted sustainably-harvested wood frame made in the U.S.A. Matted with 4Ply RagMat Museum mat board. The glazing is acrylic. Hanging kit, wall bumpers, and detailed directions included.
I share how I experience the mystery and joy of life through my art. I became captivated by encaustic in 2010 and its sustainable properties. Building up layers of wax is fascinating; so tactile and satisfying. It is slow and difficult – just like bees building the honeycomb within hives. This practice takes me into the heart of nature where I thrive. I want my art to inspire with its translucence, radiance, and harmony of the multiple layers, so that you want to preserve it for generations.

This honey is the best raw, local honey! I have spent years buying store brand honey and, on the rare occasion, have had local honey from a family friend. This honey tastes like "home". One tablespoon is the perfect amount for yogurt (or tea) for that natural sweetness. If you are someone who has natural allergies and cough with store bought honey, you won't with this one. Pure, raw, honey...you can taste the difference. I highly suggest the sweet clover. A great addition for Greek yogurt for sure!
Honestly, I feel like this set is sent from paradise. The formula feels SUPER hydrating and left me GLOWING this winter. The scents are gorgeous, feels like a spa day at home. I used it for stocking stuffers for the holidays. And the body cream is the perfect size for travel.
It is subtle but the flavor really resembles the same as cranberry relish. It is as unique as it is delicious!
Only the best on the Market! I go from variety to Honey to Cinnamon. The Honey Bee and the Dried Bark is a fabulous combination! So hard to pick a fav, so back to the variety pack. Packed so professional! Shipping is amazing! The BEST!!!
This is undoubtedly the best honey I've ever had! The flavor is rich and pure – high-quality! I pair it with the Good Night tea and even put it in my coffee! Highly recommend!
