New Horizons

The Horizon Series of Encaustic works is a contemplation of the intriguing and soothing effect of gazing into the distance. In this series I have chosen to express visually that feeling of wonderment you get whilst gazing out at the ocean horizon. I am intrigued by how the colours and texture of the ocean are influenced by the colours and light in the sky. The ever elusive horizon fascinates, whether it be land or sea. Encaustic lends itself beautifully to images of water because the natural element of beeswax reflects the natural texture and translucency of water.
