About This Artwork
Encaustic on cradled wooden panel.
The Light of the Flower Moon is a one-off encaustic painting, part of the 2025 Flower Moon Series. It shows an Australian white-cheeked honeyeater perching in a flowering banksia tree, as the rosy light of the spring moon lights up the scene.
This piece is created using the ancient Greek practice of burning layers of beeswax, resin and pigments into a substrate using a live flame. Each layer fuses to the one below, creating an ethereal surface that reflects light into the room, giving the impression of bringing the outdoors indoors.
