Rooted in ascent

Encaustics on wood panel.

11x14x2.50"

Rooted in Ascent is an original encaustic painting on wood panel exploring resilience, transformation, and growth. Layers of molten beeswax create rich texture and depth, while the organic form rises from strong roots toward the light. Inspired by nature’s quiet persistence, the work symbolizes the strength to remain grounded while continually reaching upward.
