24” x 24” original artwork created using hot wax encaustic, created on an artist's Cradleboard, gallery wrapped

Beautiful but deadly, the Lionfish are venomous marine fish native to the Indo-Pacific. They are characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red or black bands and ostentatious dorsal fins tipped with venomous spines. Susan’s love for scuba diving and her interest in the unique creatures of the deep sea inspired this playful encaustic artwork.

Encaustic paintings, which is also known as hot wax paintings, are one of the world’s oldest art forms. The earliest applications of encaustic wax paint were done by the artists of ancient Greece. This is where the Greek term “enkaustikos” comes from, which means “to burn in.”
