Burning on wood.
11x18"
This piece is hand drawn and hand burned on a plywood sheet. The essence of Calgary's iconic landmark is captured in shades of brown from light to dark by varying the temperature of the metal tip used to burn the wood. No colors have been added. A coat of polyurethane was applied to seal the burn.
This piece does not include a frame as the effect has been created by burning the edges.
It measures 18"x11"x.02" and comes with metal fixtures at the back for easy hanging.
I grew up with art and crafts being a constant presence in my life. It wasn't until I discovered pyrography in 2017 that I found a medium that awakened the inner artist in me. I am a self-taught pyrographer honing my skills through countless hours of practice and experimentation. I began displaying my pyrography creations at local markets where it generated a lot of interest and appreciation. Soon my work caught the eye of art enthusiasts and supporters of local artisans. Today, I continue to create both custom and commissioned pyrography pieces in my studio at home.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
As a pyrographer, I work with two natural elements - wood as my canvas and fire as my brush. While I am drawn to the organic nature of wood and its unique characteristics, I am fascinated by the art of harnessing fire to create and not destroy. Through wood burning, I love to explore the depth and texture that can be created on each piece. The art of pyrography allows me to blend my creativity with the wood's intricate patterns as a guide to create an image. My process is both meticulous and intuitive requiring precision and patience. I hope that my pyrography will inspire others to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature.
