ancient medium, antiquate process
Each work is an original
My encaustic mixed media explores the subtle interplay between water, light, texture, and emotion, inviting viewers into moments of quiet musing. Using the ancient medium of encaustic along with mid century enhancing image techniques that adds depth as the wax merges with the ephemeral quality of photography, creating a tactile experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional image-making. Each piece is a meditation that evokes a sense of serenity and healing. Through the delicate layering of imagery, oils, and wax, I seek to capture the essence of peace, inviting viewers to reflect and find solace in the ethereal. My work is an invitation to listen to the soul's whispers and find beauty in the quiet spaces within ourselves.
“This artistic process satisfies my search for tranquility.”
This Could Be You
Commissions begin in your pool. Before your underwater photo shoot, we collaborate on art placement location and then in the water. You will be coached on ways to move with ease underwater. The experience memorable. You may feel uplifted and inspired in new ways, and even limitations may change. There is a peaceful sense of play.
"I feel like a part of me that I almost forgot about was awakened. The little girls who dressed up and could do anything.” ~ Linda B.
“For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had” John 5:3,4
Susan J Roche, mother of three and grandmother of five, began her career photographing playful families along the surf at the Jersey Shore. After the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, she began photographing people underwater and combining these images with her fine art background. This is when her work as a mixed-media artist emerged.
