A Digital Plan.
A Handmade Result.

My paintings begin with precise digital designs built from circles, arcs, grids and repeating forms. I print the design on thin paper and fuse it into encaustic wax, creating the foundation for the painting.

From there, the digital gives way to the handmade. Using a heated stylus, I build the surface one mark at a time, adding color, texture and dimension to the underlying geometry.

Drag to see the transformation. Up to 140,000 individual marks. One painting.
