Welcome to the world of contemporary abstract art,
where creativity knows no boundaries.
Hi, I'm Molly Duncan, a passionate artist, and I invite
you to embark on a remarkable journey of
painting abstracts in oil & cold wax medium.
My home studio in Cairns has been a sanctuary for

Not a paintbrush in sight!
Oil & cold wax medium is unique in the sense that unlike acrylics it takes a little while to dry so it gives the painter more time to manipulate the paint. You can scratch and gouge designs, scrape away paint or add more layers of paint with a scraper or palette knife.
Why I created this website...
I want to share with you the joys of painting in oil & cold wax medium. For the past 15 years I had difficulty picking up a paintbrush or holding it longer than a few seconds because arthritis got in the way. Then I discovered oil & cold wax medium where I can paint with an ergonomic silicone scraper and it has given me an opportunity to enjoy painting again.
