Hi there! I'm Anjuli, an encaustic mixed media artist from Raleigh, NC. I've been fascinated with encaustic painting for 15 years, and I see no signs of that fading. If you're here, you have that same fascination.

I have a passionate belief that any one can be an artist- all it takes is patience and commitment. If you work towards your goal every day, you'll make it there- it doesn't matter how much talent you think you don't have. I'm so excited to help you overcome your fears and reach your artistic goals!
