Equine Artist Information :

Pyrography, the art of burning or scorching on a natural surface, such as wood or leather, is one of the oldest art forms dating back to cave drawings by those fascinated by the mysterious beauty and power of fire. To this day pyrography continues to captivate our imagination as its natural canvas blends impressively with wildlife, portraiture and landscape to create rich impressions of art imitating life.

Equine Artist Biography:

As a pyrographer and perfectionist, I work meticulously with each individual burning in order to capture the essence and true spirit of each subject.

Stunning photographs and beautiful wood are the foundation and inspiration for my pyrography. I am enthused by the fusion of heat on wooden surface and how tiny strokes of sepia tones on swirling grain and birds-eye slowly darken to become an integral and decorative part of each work of art. I strive to embody my passion for pyrography by portraying my subjects authentically, precisely and realistically through finely tuned detail. Maple is my wood of choice, as its inherent hardness yields photorealistic detail that is my trademark. Experimenting with various burning instruments challenges me as I seek to achieve desired results. My sincerest wish is to move and inspire others through my art.
