This abstract encaustic artwork celebrates the unique beauty of Petoskey stones, which are fossilized coral dating back hundreds of millions of years. Known for their distinctive hexagonal patterns—formed by the ancient coral’s skeletal structure—these stones are symbols of connection and resilience, named after the Native American Chief Petosega, whose name means “rays of peace.” Crafted with heated beeswax, damar resin, oils, pigments, and shellac, the artwork highlights the intricate, almost geometric shapes and subtle textures that make each Petoskey stone so captivating. Vibrant colors and rich layers enhance these fossilized patterns, creating a dynamic interplay of light and depth that honors the stone’s prehistoric origins.
