Before I was introduced to pyrography - also known as wood burning - I dabbled and experimented in many different mediums, especially taking a liking to the worlds of screen-printing, copper plate etching, drawing, painting, and sculpture with mixed medium. My undergraduate studies in fine arts enhanced the opportunity to develop my skills and understanding of design and concept.

Post-graduation I was accepted into a local artist residency where I focused on my drawings and sculptural work, and grew my gallery resume through group and solo exhibitions. Though I loved these experiences I felt disconnected from my artistic goals and didn't know my place in the "art world". I was soon exposed to the practice of wood burning through other fellow artists, and finally decided to buy my first wood burning kit and a slab of wood.

I immediately felt drawn to create designs that would compliment and move with the wood grain. Inspiration flowed endlessly. While it was a complete learning curve, the result of my first handful of pieces was better than I expected. I became completely enamoured with pyrography, and the adventure had just begun.

The support I have received on this journey has kept me inspired and moving forward, and I'm so thrilled I can share the things that make my heart happy with you all. I hope these creations can also bring you joy, or at least some curiosity into the world of pyrography.
