Pistyll Rhaeadr — One of the Seven Wonders of Wales

This encaustic painting captures the magic of Pistyll Rhaeadr, Wales’ highest single-drop waterfall and one of the legendary Seven Wonders of Wales. Tucked away in the Berwyn Mountains near me, Pistyll Rhaeadr is a place of natural beauty, myth, and timeless inspiration.

Using encaustic allows me to build richly textured, luminous surfaces that echo the shimmering flow of water, the mossy rocks, and the dappled woodland light.

In this piece I invite you to look deeper and discover new details with every glance — just like standing before Pistyll Rhaeadr itself.
