Dancing Queen

Encaustics on wood panel.

11x14x1"

Created in encaustic on wood panel, Dancing Queen captures a moment of pure, uninhibited expression—where form dissolves into movement and energy takes center stage. Layers of molten beeswax and damar resin are built and fused, allowing each gesture to emerge organically, like a bloom caught mid-dance.

Fiery reds, radiant golds, and vibrant greens pulse outward from the core, evoking both the delicacy of a flower and the strength of a spirit in motion. The petals appear to flicker and reach, as if responding to an unseen rhythm—alive, expressive, and unapologetically bold.

The encaustic medium adds depth and luminosity, preserving each layer of movement within its translucent surface. This piece is not still—it breathes, expands, and celebrates vitality.

Dancing Queen is an ode to joy, freedom, and the quiet power of embracing one’s own rhythm.
