Original Painting in Encaustic by Nicki Stewart
60cm x 60cm
Trained in Interior and Textile Design, Nicki has been painting since 1998. Her chosen medium is encaustic (beeswax and damar resin) Encaustic is an ancient and enduring technique predating oil painting and was used by the Egyptians to decorate their sarcophagi. Nicki began using encaustic from an ethical need to find an organic and sustainable medium.
