Georgia Nassikas Head Shot

Artist Georgia Nassikas heats and mixes wax from her honeybee hives, damar crystals from fir trees, and color pigments from around the world to create her encaustics paintings. Her art is that “of the earth” pursuing elemental forms, color, symmetry and emotion.

Working out of her McLean, Virginia studio, Georgia’s work can be found in private and public collections throughout the US, Europe, South America, Greece & Australia.

Work in progress! One in the Thaw series. Think about a part of the world where the fewest number of people live but is having the most adverse effect on our global climate: the Arctic. Permafrost is thawing, releasing methane and carbon back into the atmosphere. Let’s unite to turn that around! #artforclimate #artactivism #artforchange #earth #science #polarisproject #woodwellclimateresearthcenter

A Change of Perspective! Have you ever wondered how the nuthatch can go down a tree trunk head first? They have a special toe that grabs the bark, holding it upside down, allowing it to search crevices for insects that other birds have missed on their way up. This little nuthatch was storing seeds in a clever hiding spot so it could come back later to retrieve and enjoy. Mini oil painting 3”x3” on silver embossed easel. For fun and for sale. #changeyourperspective #ingenious #evolution #mini #art

Piping plover chick. Piping plovers are rare shorebirds. They nest above the high water line on my favorite beach in RI and other beaches along the northeast Atlantic shore. The chicks are hard to spot. #audubon #threatenedspecies #minipainting
