An accomplished encaustic artist, Tonya uses the traditional encaustic mixture of beeswax and resin to sculpt exquisite 3D floral “paintings”. Encaustic, which consists of wholly organic materials found in nature, lends itself to the overall theme of the beauty and fragility of nature. Her use of wax gives a rich optical effect to the pigment making the finished work startlingly lifelike.

Tonya's award-winning 3D Floral Encaustic paintings are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Encaustic Art in Cerillos, NM and are currently part of the "Flourish" exhibition of the d'Arts Center in Norfolk, Va for historic Garden Week.

Tonya also serves on the Board of the Encaustic Museum.
