These 6×6-inch abstract encaustic mixed media paintings are small in scale yet strikingly powerful. Layers of beeswax and pigment create translucent, smoky surfaces with real depth—earthy, atmospheric, and full of subtle movement. Incised marks, embedded textures, and soft shifts in tone give each piece a quiet sense of mystery.
Each panel includes peat ash and holy water from Ireland, adding an earthy material presence that anchors the work. The ash settles into the wax in unpredictable, organic ways, contributing to the depth and complexity of the surface. While the holy water from St. Brigid’s well adds a touch of magic.
Pops of red break through the neutrals, adding tension and contrast. Though intimate in size, these pieces hold the energy and visual weight of much larger abstractions.
Created on deep wood cradled panels, ready to hang or display.

She stands tall, bold, and unyielding—a warrior forged by fire, rooted in the strength of nature. Like the cedar tree, she symbolizes resilience, protection, and vitality, standing strong through storms and seasons. Draped in courage and crowned with fierce determination, she reminds us that true power lies in embracing our wild nature and unapologetically claiming our space in the world. "Be Fierce" invites the viewer to awaken their inner warrior, to stand proud in the face of adversity, and to rise with the strength that has always been within, like cedar standing tall through every trial.
Reclining on a sea of luxurious blue velvet, she exhales words like smoke, delicate and ephemeral. But these are not just any words—they drift from the pages of Lolita, a book loaded with complexity, controversy, and societal reflection. Her gaze is both bold and serene, as if daring the viewer to confront the layers of meaning in the smoke she breathes: beauty, desire, power, and control.
In this piece, the act of smoking becomes a metaphor for consumption—of ideas, of narratives, of identities imposed by culture. She transforms those words into something transient, reshaping them into her own fleeting, intangible expression. The golden halo surrounding her head evokes a sense of sanctity, challenging the viewer to reconsider notions of purity, sensuality, and intellect.
"Blue Velvet Reverie" invites the viewer to reflect on the complexities of femininity, the power of owning one's story, and the ability to take in what society imposes and release it transformed.
