Tree Haze (2025)Mixed-media painting by Roseanne Jones

Through encaustic medium, cold wax, and layered textures, I obscure, reveal, and reshape the photographic surface. Wax softens the starkness of the image, while scratches, pigments, and abstract marks introduce a tactile tension. This interplay of photographic realism and painterly intervention allows the work to inhabit a liminal space—somewhere between document and dream.
Whether depicting a lone tree bending into winter fog, a path receding into mystery, or a cloud-heavy coastal horizon, my artwork seeks to evoke the emotional undercurrents of place. They carry a sense of nostalgia, melancholy, and quiet wonder, echoing the feeling of standing in a landscape that seems to hold its breath.
Ultimately, my photo encaustic practice is a conversation between nature’s impermanence and the enduring human impulse to capture, transform, and remember. Each image becomes not just a scene, but a vessel—holding weather, time, and the lingering presence of what cannot be seen.
