Lanna Arts 

has created art all her life in many different media – pottery, stained glass, and Encaustic wax.  She loves the flow of the hot wax and the 3D effect that allows a depth to form on the wood or paper. 

The versatility and jewel tones of the wax really appeal to her and helps bring her art to life. Encaustic painting uses heated beeswax and damar resin to which pigments are added. This technique was used in Egypt around 100 to 300 AD.She can also be found on Facebook
