Painting to Sculpture : Textile to Photography – So Much Choice !

Art has many forms and means different things to different people, be it painting, sculpture, sewing, designing and creating in many forms and using a vast array of materials.

My own artwork is created using Wax – I am an Encaustic artist working mostly in encaustic hot wax, occasion experimenting in mixed media, drawings, watercolor and wax.

The Art In Wax website has many of my paintings to view in the gallery and some for sale in my shop.
