encaustica

Updated March 2011:

I’ve taken a break from my art for a little while. I have recently had a baby and just don’t have time at the moment! I am hoping to get back into it in the next few months.

My name is Kelly Biggs and I live near the beautiful New Forest, Hampshire.

I’m a self-taught artist specialising in Encaustic Art. I began working with encaustic art in 2004 and have since gone beyond any boundaries I set when I started.

My personal style is more abstract than traditional methods. I enjoy the surprise element involved in creating, as you can never be 100% sure what will happen when painting something using encaustics.

I love nature, natural environments and colour. In the New Forest, close to where I live, I see many different colours, scenes and feel different emotions and thoughts whenever I’m viewing the stunning scenery.

I don’t paint specific locations or objects, instead I use my memory of the feelings the places and people invoke in me and I attempt to convey the overall feeling of an area, thought, mood or colour.

I find I prefer creating larger pieces of work, as there is more scope for imagination, colour and texture.

A lot of my artwork is available to buy in print form, on RedBubble. Originals are available on my website.

I have taken a break from my art for the past year. I’ve recently hasca baby and just don’t have time at the moment. I’m hoping to get back into it in the next few months :-)
