“The Veil Between Worlds II” - Framed Original Miniature Encaustic Wax Dreamscape Painting

An original encaustic dreamscape painting The Veil Between Worlds II. Available to collect from Blackrock Castle Observatory as part of the Solar Eclipse exhibition June 2026.

This piece is from the collection Dreamscapes: Echoes of Other Worlds: a small series of framed miniature encaustic paintings on paper depicting magical lands, both familiar and unseen, the veil between worlds, and the other side. I am fascinated by the fact that modern technology is enhancing our vision and perception of amazing phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses, the Northern Lights, and mysterious cosmic events, and how it is connecting us back to the natural world here on Earth, the outer world in space, and the Otherworld which the author Manchán Magan spoke so wonderfully about.

Medium: Encaustic (Beeswax, pigments & damar resin) on sealed paper
Dimensions: 13.3cm x 18.4cm in frame
Solid wood frame with glass 

Living in West Cork, I take deep inspiration from both the beautiful, ever-changing landscape around me, and images of the sky, the galaxy and outer space to create magical, other-worldly scenes. My paintings become miniature portals through which you can explore other places and new worlds in wonder.

As an artist painting landscapes in a modern encaustic method, I love to draw the viewer into magical lands and spark their imagination with a sense of awe. Many of my wax paintings are quite a small size as it is the format | am most drawn to with this medium. There is something immediately charming about work on this scale, and a feeling of wonder that you are holding a portal to another world in your hands. Where possible, I try to use naturally-derived materials in my work, with my primary medium being beeswax, pigments and damar resin painted onto sealed paper. I do not make prints or reproductions of my encaustic work, so each piece is truly unique.
