Encaustic wax paintings

19/06/2026

If you’re local to Havering please check out this amazing event I’m putting on. 4 creative workshops to pick from which you can secure for £20 and pay the balance after payday!

It’s not your average sip-and-paint but a complete experience as you’ll get time in between to browse a high quality artisan market that’s on-site. And trust me it’s been carefully curated offering only the most gorgeous stalls.

You’ll also be relaxing afterwards with a cup of tea or coffee and tucking into a slice of homemade cake- all included.

Gift vouchers also available at no extra cost. DM me for more info, I’d love to see you there! X

Beautiful colours 😍

These pieces actually got made into greetings cards but I do sell abstract pieces like this so get in touch if you want a particular colour to go with your decor.

My abstract pieces are created by melting blocks of coloured wax onto an iron and applying to specialist paper. In some parts you can see the shape of the iron, in others you can’t see how it’s created…. I use the side of the iron to create lines and also sometimes drip molten wax off the end.

Hello, this is me (and one of my sausage dogs), I’m Lisa and I’m the artist behind Wade Waxes!

I’m 45 and have always lived in Essex. I work mainly as a graphic designer and started encaustic hwax painting after a one day course over 20 years ago when I discovered the technique and loved it!

After creating abstract pieces, I experimented with using the wax over photographs and really liked the effect it gave.

My work brings together my love of travel and fascination of abandoned spaces plus the charm of UK coastal regions.

I’ve not seen anything really like the photo encaustic pieces I make and like the fact each one is unique, even if they use the same underlying photograph. All photographs are taken by me.

Get in touch if you’d like to order or commission something special

Sold this piece recently, Cappadocia in Turkey is such a magical place! The photograph was taken by myself a couple of years ago, from a hot air balloon flight at sunrise.

Wax was applied on top using an iron and gives it a different feel. If you want me to create a unique piece just for you, get in touch. Landscapes work best but I’ll give anything a go!

See some of my work in the foyer of Upminster library this summer. I exhibited here around 15 or so years ago so it’s nice to be back! Please pop down if you’re local x

Just love the textures and coloured the wax produces, such a unique medium. I can take commissions if you’d like a special piece for your home, just DM me!

A lot of my work centres around Brighton’s West Pier. I was very lucky to don a hard hat over 25 years ago and make my way onto the derelict pier before it became the skeletal structure it is today.

All the photographs I use for my pieces are taken by me. I added the wax on top over two decades later and this remarkable piece is still awaiting a new home! DM me if interested or check out my Etsy shop-link in bio.

I don’t iron clothes but I iron my artwork 😂 this piece is of whitstable beach at sunset and is still available.

Always been a little obsessed with Brighton’s West Pier! I have some work which started life over 25 years ago when it was a relatively solid but decaying structure.

This piece was created more recently using a photograph I took towards the end of last year and added wax on top using an iron.

I just wonder how long it will be laying there, in its skeletal state…
