About The Artwork
I live in a city known for its steel industry and Ive always fascinated by its industrial landscape, whether from the ground or through my aerial photography. This work is a photo encaustic: photography mixed with encaustics. It is made from hot, molten beeswax I have mixed with damar resin, a sap from trees in Malaysia and Indonesia. I then add dry pigments for colour. It has layer upon layer of wax, each being fused to the previous with a blow torch, worked in a way to create texture. The sky is done with oil paints on the wax. Beneath the texture is pigmented shellac I have burned, painting with the flame of a torch, coaxing it into a network of lacy streams. The work is painted on a birch cradled substrate. The sides are painted in black acrylic. It is ready to hang with wire and D-rings. The piece is signed and dated on the back and comes with care and background information.

Canada
The arts and creative world have long been a part of my life, beginning with painting and illustrating from a very young age to a 22-year career in fashion design and pattern-making in the high-end of Toronto's fashion industry. Living in Hamilton since 2004, I have established myself as a fine art photographer specializing in aerial and aviation photography. With a fondness for nature and landscape, I am often inspired by that which I have captured in my photography and love to interpret that through acrylics as well as encaustic painting. I have exhibited in many group exhibitions and fundraising events, including at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, McMaster Innovation Park, Fieldcote Museum, Dundas Valley School of Art and the Louvre in Paris. My work hangs in private collections and in professional offices throughout Canada, the United States, France, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
