WaxWorksPhoto

Our Process

 

In 600 B.C. the Greeks invented a unique process using beeswax and power pigment; Now known as Encaustic Painting. We created a process that adorns a photograph with organic beeswax & oil paint to create a one of a kind work of art.


WaxWorksPhoto was created by Susan and prolific artist & teacher, Leah Macdonald. After studying fine art at Moore College in Philadelphia, Susan has continued to strive to push her work beyond the boundaries of a beautiful photograph. Over the years she has partnered with many wonderful photographers and artists. Leah became the brilliant artist behind WaxWorksPhoto; collaborating fine art photography and her unique process. She continues not only create stunning fine art works, she also leads corporate team building and group classes & workshops.

WaxWorks is the process is building layers of organic beeswax over a photograph allows the ability to create a 3 dimensional texture. Then using paints in hues that compliment the image, the photograph takes on a more painterly feel; making it a one-of-a-kind original work of art.
