Holiday Treasure

Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media | 22 x 22cm

There’s something special about the pieces we collect along the way, the little treasures that hold memories, moments, and meaning. Holiday Treasure is inspired by that feeling, like stumbling across something beautiful you didn’t know you were looking for, but suddenly can’t imagine leaving behind.

Built up in layers of luminous encaustic wax and mixed media, this piece has a soft, glowing depth that shifts with the light. Subtle textures and marks invite you in closer, revealing quiet details that feel both nostalgic and full of possibility.

This is the kind of artwork that brings warmth into a space, a gentle statement piece that feels personal, timeless, and quietly uplifting.

Perfect for collectors who are drawn to texture, story, and one-of-a-kind works that feel truly special.

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.
