A few years ago, someone mentioned woodburning and I thought I'd give it a try. I quickly got hooked! Pyrography, Greek for "fire drawing," is an art form that dates back to ancient cave dwellings. It is the art of burning images on a variety of mediums, such as wood, leather and paper. In Victorian times, a hot fire poker was used for the burning, giving it the name Pokerwork. The tools for doing Pyrography have advanced through the ages — instead of using heated sticks or fireplace pokers, most people now use electrically heated tools.

In addition to my pyrography, I continue to work with colored pencils and acrylics and create digital art on my computer. You can see samples of all my different works on this website.
