About Water & Wax

Water & Wax

I am a watercolour artist who has recently discovered amazing world of Encaustic Wax Painting,

I am 73 and live on the beautiful Isle of Wight. When my youngest daughter started school thirty five years ago, I decided to satisfy a lifetime desire and enrolled at my local Technical College to try as many different art classes as I could. During one of these wonderful classes I discovered watercolours and have used them for many years, however, five Christmases ago I was given a gift of an Encaustic Wax Workshop experience at a small craft village in Arreton. I am now completely addicted to this unpredictable, exciting medium. I have not, however, abandoned my watercolour painting and I still play with these, and occasionally pastels, at a local Art Club every week.

I have also recently completed and self-published a fantasy story that I started writing for my children when they were young, which is also available from my shop.
