Artist Shima Shanti is a beeswax & fire painter in the art form called Encaustic. Her abstract-impressionistic paintings are beautiful in their simplicity. Boldly layering brush strokes of molten wax and natural earth pigment onto a birch panel, she creates a rough-yet-refined texture. Then firing with the flame of a torch, she creates deep luminous dimension. Having gained international recognition, her collections are sought by designers, consultants and art collectors worldwide.
