About Our Wax Anniversary Art
What makes wax art special?
Our paintings are created in encaustic, an ancient technique that blends pure beeswax with damar resin for strength and a natural, pearlescent glow. Warm layers of wax are brushed onto archival wood panels and fused with gentle heat so each stratum bonds to the next. The result is a luminous surface with organic movement, colors seem to float, shift, and deepen as the light changes throughout the day.
Why wax for the 16th anniversary?
The 16th wedding anniversary is traditionally the “wax anniversary.” Wax symbolizes warmth, resilience, and renewal, qualities found in lasting partnerships. Gifting encaustic art captures that symbolism beautifully: the piece is literally made of wax, yet strengthened by heat and time, just like your story together.
Our aesthetic
Abstract seascapes & botanicals that balance calm and energy
Translucent color fields layered for depth and quiet radiance
Textural details such as veils, ripples, and cells that invite close looking
Each work is composed to feel timeless and serene, designed to live harmoniously in modern, coastal, or traditional interiors.
Thoughtfully handcrafted
Each piece is crafted from pure beeswax blended with damar resin and professional pigments, built on birch or maple panels in many thin coats and heat-fused after each pass for lasting strength and depth. The surface cures to a soft, natural sheen that can be lightly buffed to refresh its luster. Every painting is signed, the sides are cleanly finished, and the back is wired, so it arrives ready to hang.
