Thetis
Encaustic Mixed Media
One of the fifty Nereids, daughter of Nereus and Doris,
Thetis moves as a quiet goddess of the water—
a sea-born guide whose presence softens the world around her.
Here, she rises in pale currents and whispering light,
her myth breathing through the shimmer of the tide.
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.
Galatea of the Grey Seas
Photography, fine printmaking, and archivally adhered to cradled wood panel, various fine art mediums including pan pastels, oil paint, and encaustic
58 x 44 × 1.5 inches
