Sarah St. Laurent - The Encaustic Studio

My medium is encaustic (beeswax & damar resin) and I work with the wax by melting, fusing and layering the wax. I love the artistic journey from initial idea to finished piece. I’m inspired by nature’s patterns and textures and the materials I use. The process of constructing a piece by combining elements and materials with the wax is exciting and fulfilling. I often add fabric, pastels, metal and wood. By building layers of color, texture and pattern I can create rich textural images. Escaping to my studio allows me to savor the smell of the beeswax and the flow created between the torch and the wax.
