My Story

My passion for creating art started very young. I have always loved nature and the outdoors. I studied Geology and GIS in college and now am a GIS specialist. I get to make maps!!! My education and job help provide new ideas for my art every day. Also being artists, my mother and grandmother have always been a huge inspiration to me.

I first fell in love with pyrography when I started making small gifts for friends and family. The first time I picked up a wood burning pen from the craft store, I wood burned a custom tissue box for my dad. I haven’t turned back since.

I love the variety that wood burning and painting provide. The first time I added color to a pyrography piece I was nervous I would ruin it. Now I add color to almost every piece because I love the way it makes the wood pop in different ways. The combinations of painting applications for wood burning are endless, and I can’t wait to keep exploring and share what I learn and create.
