Resin & Encaustic

Resin encaustic art combines the depth and durability of resin with the soft, tactile finish of wax. Donna O’Donoghue’s contemporary abstract resin and wax artworks explore this contrast between strength and softness, retaining the luminosity and layered depth of resin without its highly polished surface. The wax creates a smooth, understated finish that responds gently to changing light, revealing subtle textures and tonal variations. These original mixed-media artworks represent an experimental evolution of resin art by a contemporary New Zealand artist.
