PRINTING & FRAMING
All my fine art prints are made to order and are usually available in limited edition print sizes in 25 print editions and one large, archival mounted print, framed and signed single edition.
They are carefully printed from the digital negative producing a unique print on archival inks & fine art papers, just like the horses that I photograph, each limited edition print is unique and deserves attention and care to ensure they last a lifetime and look their very best. Each print is printed on deckle edge photo rag paper and then mounted onto an acid-free mount board, giving a very special look and feel.
Some of my photo-encaustic wax artworks are re-photographed, and enhanced using digital darkroom techniques and then along with my limited edition prints they are signed, dated and numbered on the front and printed with a white border. A certificate of authenticity is also provided with each print.

PHOTO-ENCAUSTIC HORSE ARTWORK
My mixed media artwork uses a lovely technique that uses beeswax and dammar resin as a medium to encapsulate fine art photography printed on different papers adding texture, natural elements, and paint to create a one-of-a-kind emotive artwork that is full of texture and tones.
Encaustics means “to burn in or fuse.” First practiced by Greek artists as far back as the 5th century BC, encaustic combines beeswax with dry pigment and tree resin to bind pigment. The “caustic” part of the term indicates that heat is used to melt and blend the layers of wax into a unified piece. Historically, Encaustics have been used to paint Egyptian funeral portraits and by Greeks to depict mythology in art. In the 20th Century, encaustics made a revival with well-known artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso.
THE PROCESS
I love working with melted beeswax in the studio, the texture and refracted light of each photo-encaustic piece have an ethereal feel, It is an ever-evolving creative process; it gives my work a deeper connection to the natural world using nature’s gift of beeswax. My process is a combination of my fine art horse photography and photo-encaustic art both separately and intertwined. The process itself can take many hours starting with preparing the prints and cradleboard then I spend time painting layers of beeswax and tree sap, texture and colour, infusing with heat layer after layer to ensure the artwork encapsulates the horses which feature in my work combined with textures such as natural elements, rice papers and mark making and then finishing with oil pan sticks to enhance the artwork further. The final artwork then takes up to 6 to 12 months to cure.
Some of my limited edition prints such as Lost Ponies start life as original phot-encaustic artwork, I then re-photograph the artwork and spend time in my digital darkroom, enhancing textures and tones creating a new print inspired by the original encaustic artwork but possessing its own new unique style and feel.
