Floral Reverie

$180.00

Encaustic wax & mixed media on a hand-formed vessel | 21 x 23 cm | Lined in resin

Joyful, nostalgic, and bursting with colour — Floral Reverie is a one-of-a-kind artwork that brings a cheerful energy to any space. Layers of luminous encaustic wax have been gently sculpted with hand-painted blooms in vibrant reds, blues, greens and yellows. The result is a glossy, tactile surface that captures both light and warmth.

Lined with resin for durability, this sculptural vessel can stand alone as an art piece or be styled with dried botanicals for a fresh, contemporary look. It’s a happy reminder of carefree days and the beauty found in simple things.

Each piece I create is completely unique, crafted by hand in my Toowoomba studio using traditional encaustic techniques and a whole lot of heart.

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.

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.
