When shapes blur into abstract forms and colors flash in the blink of an eye, encaustic artist Shawna Moore at the height of inspiration. Whether skiing powder in a snowstorm or diving through waves on a surfboard, this artist thrives on the feeling of moving through landscape at great speed.

Shawna captures these moments in time using the encaustic medium. This unique and dynamic technique incorporates pigmented bee’s wax, which is heated, re-worked, etched, and scuffed to achieve dimensional depth. As each layer cools, another can be applied, resulting in a radiant and complex terrain of light, color, and texture.
