About Dan Wu

Artist, Dan Wu graduated from the York University Fine Arts Program with a focus in Visual Arts. He retired from a career in Education and lately has been discovering his joy and passion in Encaustic painting.  The medium using melted beeswax is a dynamic one where anything goes and the possibilities are endless.  Dan has been experimenting in this medium and is self-taught in the various techniques.  He enjoys the process of making the encaustic medium and all the wax colours by hand. Dan lives in Newmarket, Ontario and works in an art studio built in the backyard of his home. He is currently a member of the Newmarket Group of Artists and has shown his art at local and regional art shows.  The subject of landscapes, nature and abstract themes have been an inspiration to his works from his love of travel.
