I, the Wax Lady fell in love with painting with wax, and wanted to reveal this wonderful technique to anyone who is interested in learning about Encaustic Painting, which is also known as Hot Wax Painting.

Our storefront ENCAUSTICART.US has been open for business for 10 years now, but I have been painting with this Molten Wax Medium since the early 90’s. Tom and I actually got started with encaustics because we were having trouble finding supplies in the United States.  I e-mailed Michael Bossom, a renowned artist known for his encaustic work, located in the UK and inquired about selling encaustic supplies.  Michael was instrumental in the start of our business; he has also become my mentor, and friend.
