Deanne Palmer BIO 

Deanne Palmer is a contemporary Australian painter and sculptor whose practice is grounded in sustainability and ecological awareness. After beginning her career in oil painting, she transitioned to encaustic art—a medium of beeswax, damar resin, and pigment—drawn to its natural origins, archival qualities, and expressive versatility. Her works explore the delicate interplay between human presence and the environment, often highlighting themes of restoration and repair within both land and aquatic ecologies.

Deanne’s encaustic techniques have evolved beyond painting into innovative sculptural methods, where she frequently integrates repurposed and found materials. These hybrid forms, at once tactile and luminous, reflect her ongoing commitment to art as a space for both beauty and environmental responsibility. Her slow, layered process mirrors cycles in nature, creating works that invite reflection and hope in the face of ecological change.
