Guidance carried on breath and tide
Delphine moves with effortless assurance—swift, luminous, alive with purpose.
This work holds the feeling of being guided rather than led, of trust formed through motion and grace. Light arcs across layered wax and image like a living current, buoyant and sure.
Delphine belongs in spaces that welcome momentum and clarity—rooms where energy feels clean, where forward motion is calm rather than hurried. Her presence is joyful, protective, and quietly intelligent.
Delphine is imagined from ancient sea lore in which dolphins are sacred guides—companions to sailors, messengers of safe passage, symbols of intelligence and benevolent power. In classical myth, dolphins carry souls, rescue the lost, and move easily between danger and delight.
As a sea spirit, Delphine embodies navigation through empathy: knowing the way by feeling rather than force. Her story speaks of joyful guardianship—the grace of arriving safely, the wisdom of moving in harmony with the sea’s living mind.
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.
Each work is individually crafted, an original. Based on photography and each different, the colors or sizes may be similar yet unique.
Photography, fine printmaking, and archivally adhered to cradled wood panel, various fine art mediums including pan pastels, oil paint, and encaustic
24 × 36 × 1.5 inches
