Photography and Mixed Media on Cradled Wood Panel
Inspired by the ancient Nereids — the sea nymphs of Greek mythology — daughters of Nereus, protectors of sailors, and spirits of calm waters.
In this work, the figure drifts within layers of light and translucence, her form dissolving into the shifting tide.
Through photography, acrylic mediums, and fine art materials, Susan Roche captures the elusive grace of these benevolent beings — a meditation on beauty, serenity, and the eternal movement of the sea.
A one-of-a-kind mixed media original, luminous and tranquil as a whispered tide.
Created through a process that merges modern photography and printmaking with the ancient art of encaustic, layers of molten beeswax, oils, and resins are built up and fused with fire. The textured surface invites touch, its translucent depth suggesting both concealment and revelation. A one-of-a-kind encaustic mixed media painting — where photography, molten beeswax, and oils merge to reveal a serene underwater world. Layers of texture and translucency create a luminous depth that can only be achieved through fire and time.
Each work is individually crafted, an original. Based on photography and each different, the colors or sizes may be similar yet unique.
Photography, fine printmaking, and archivally adhered to cradled wood panel, various fine art mediums including pan pastels, oil paint, and encaustic
