Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media
Framed
Sometimes all it takes is one brave step.
Come Join Us #1 captures that quiet invitation to belong. Four bees drift together across a luminous wax surface, one already waiting while the others gently gather. There is movement, anticipation and the promise of connection.
Created using layers of encaustic wax and mixed media, the soft, glowing background allows every delicate wing and tiny detail to emerge naturally from the surface. The wax creates depth that changes throughout the day as light moves across it, making this artwork feel wonderfully alive.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate contemporary Australian art, nature-inspired interiors and meaningful storytelling, Come Join Us #1 is a gentle reminder that life’s richest moments are often shared.
Whether displayed on its own or alongside Come Join Us #2, this artwork brings warmth, calm and conversation to any home.
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.
