Brenda Walker
"From as far back as I can remember, I've seen myself as an artist. I've dabbled in countless mediums and stocked up on all the necessary supplies. What drives me back to the studio day after day is the constant journey of learning and growth as an artist. Each painting I create becomes a lesson in patience, curiosity, surrender, and acceptance.
Encaustic painting is the medium that truly speaks to my heart and soul. From the rich aroma of molten beeswax to the mesmerizing way it melts into layers of translucent colour and texture, every aspect of the process captivates me. I delight in sculpting, scraping, scratching, and gouging the wax, marveling as the flame from my torch dances across the surface, transforming it into a liquid pool of wonder and potential. Beeswax has a mind of its own, teaching me to release attachment to specific outcomes and embrace the endless possibilities it offers.
Nature has always been my greatest inspiration. My artistic style is simple and represents my own visual and emotional experiences. My aim is to draw viewers in, allowing them to lose themselves in the layers and textures of the wax, evoking happy memories and emotions that bring a smile to their faces."
Biography
- Brenda Walker
Meet Brenda Walker, an artist who creates stunning paintings using encaustic medium, a unique technique involving blending pigments with heated beeswax and applying them to a solid surface.
With over two decades of experience as the co-founder, owner, and operator of a cake decorating business, Brenda found a natural affinity for working with beeswax due to its resemblance to icing. This made the transition into painting a seamless and joyful journey for her.
Each of Brenda’s paintings is a labour of love, built up through layers of wax that are meticulously fused, scraped, and carved until they achieve the perfect balance of texture and depth. Her representational style embraces simplicity, inviting viewers to engage with their own creative thoughts and memories as they interact with her art.
Working from her Calgary home, Brenda’s joyful and inspiring creations can be found in collections worldwide.
