The fine art of Melanie Williams from Wales in the UK
Textured encaustic artworks in wax and pigment created with a blow torch and mark-making tools.
Original paintings and limited edition prints.
Working with wax, heat and texture allowed me to explore the changing light and wild character of this distinctive coastal landscape. Each layer contributes to the depth and individuality of the finished piece.
This encaustic painting was inspired by the beautiful late-summer heather, rugged stone walls and ever-changing mountain light. Layers of molten beeswax and pigment allowed me to capture the softness of the heather against the darker, weathered slopes with storm clouds gathering overhead.
Crib Goch – Tân ar y Grib is my interpretation of one of Eryri’s most recognisable and dramatic ridges — a landscape of rock, light, cloud and wild weather.
