It's hard not to fall in love with Australia's tiny Fairy Wrens. At sunset, they make the most of the last rays of light as they flit among the grasses, feeding on seeds and insects. 'Nightfall in the Fairy Paddock' is part of Tanya’s 2024 Velvet Calm Series, created by burning hot wax and resin onto a solid wooden substrate and then layering velvety cold wax and oil paint over the encaustic surface and carving into the layers to create texture, depth and movement. This is a limited-edition print of the original, printed on premium 310 gsm cotton rag with archival inks.
