Ancient sea-mother and gentle Oceanid,
Doris carries the quiet strength of the deep—
giver of life to the fifty Nereids,
her presence a tide of calm wisdom
rising softly beneath the waves.
Created through a process that merges modern photography and printmaking with the ancient art of encaustic, layers of molten beeswax, oils, and resins are built up and fused with fire. The textured surface invites touch, its translucent depth suggesting both concealment and revelation. A one-of-a-kind encaustic mixed media painting — where photography, molten beeswax, and oils merge to reveal a serene underwater world. Layers of texture and translucency create a luminous depth that can only be achieved through fire and time. Even is a similar work is created, each is an original work of art.
Photography, fine printmaking, and archivally adhered to cradled wood panel, various fine art mediums including pan pastels, oil paint, and encaustic
16 × 20 x 1.5 inches
