Some brightness on this grey wintery day, if you are in Perth that is.

Love the way oil pastels just melt when you apply heat as part of the encaustic process

Can't wait to share this process as part of the luminous layers retreat in a few weeks.

I'm getting pretty excited for this retreat! 3 days of all your food and needs catered for with all your time dedicated to relaxing and creating... sounds like bliss to me!

If you've been thinking of joining us to learn more about encaustic (hot beeswax painting), head over to and get booked in for 3 days in the West Australian wheatbelt!

I'll be covering basic and more advanced techniques, then guiding and coaching you to create a master piece of your own design.
If you are unsure if this is right for you, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to talk you though the specifics.

Isn't if funny how when you let go, things have a way of working out...
I've been forcing a few pieces this week with mixed results, but this one I just had a very vague idea and went with whatever happened.
Love the result.

Burnt the edges and added a dash of colour. Quite happy with this little experiment.

I love working with wax. It engages most of your senses and for this busy mind that helps ground me in the now.

If you are keen to give it a try, come join me at a workshop.

Final buff before Delivery today.
This amazing shiny surface is why it's so hard to photograph an Encaustic art piece. You have to see it in person 🙀

This one is off to .

Perth creatives — have you ever wanted to try encaustic painting?
Warning, encaustic is addictive! … molten beeswax, layered textures, and luminous depth created through heat and intuition.

If you’re looking for a hands-on, immersive art experience in the Perth hills, my encaustic workshops are now live and open for booking.

✨ April workshop — ONLY a few spots left
✨ Small group, guided session
✨ No experience needed — just curiosity

And if you are after something really special, make sure to check out green hills for a 3 day encaustic retreat in June.

These sessions are designed to help you slow down, reconnect with material, and create something truly unique.

Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly — if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to secure your place.
