A Quiet Place #1

$0.00

There’s something special about finding a moment of stillness in a busy world, and A Quiet Place #1 was created from exactly that feeling.

Built up through layers of molten wax, pigment, and intuitive mark-making, this piece holds a quiet energy, like stepping into a space where everything softens and settles. The surface reveals subtle textures and delicate shifts in tone, drawing you in the longer you sit with it. It’s not loud, but it lingers.

This is a piece for collectors who value calm, depth, and connection. It works beautifully in interiors that lean toward natural textures, soft palettes, and considered design, adding a sense of warmth and quiet luxury without overpowering a space.

One-of-a-kind and created to be lived with, A Quiet Place #1 invites you to pause… and stay a while.

What is Encaustic Wax Painting?

Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them.

How to Care for Your Encaustic Art

Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable – it’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your piece won’t melt under normal home conditions, but it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, or extreme heat. Dust it gently with a soft cloth if needed, and over time, you may notice the surface developing a soft, natural sheen – this is perfectly normal and part of the charm of encaustic art. With just a little love, your artwork will last for generations.

Shipping for International Collectors

I’m delighted to send my artwork to collectors all around the world. Because each piece is unique and shipping costs vary depending on size, weight, and destination, international customers are encouraged to get in touch for the best shipping option and quote. This way, I can ensure your artwork is safely packaged and shipped at the most reliable and cost-effective rate for your location.
