My Story
Cécile had been experimenting with various art mediums and styles until she
discovered international artists creating luminous art with molten wax. She
immediately fell in love with seeing through the smooth or textural layers of wax and
discovering the earlier marks made, colours used, or embedded materials below.
The immense creative potential of the various techniques that can be applied using
wax, and the ability for other media and materials to be incorporated was a huge
drawcard for Cécile. She says one of the most exciting things about working with
wax is using a blow torch or heat gun to push the boundaries of what wax can do.
Cécile originates from Switzerland and has been a Mansfield resident since 1992,
bringing up two children here, with a decade in between spent in Melbourne. Cécile
recently joined the Mansfield Arts Collective Studios and is feeling inspired by the
growing arts community in Mansfield. She hopes to spread the love of encaustic art
in Australia.
