My art is the ancient art of Pyrography, the art of burning images into wood by hand. It allows me to create a sense of permanency, as though each piece becomes part of the wood’s own story rather than something simply placed upon it. I work with surreal, fantasy elements creating mystical creatures and worlds.

I find inspiration in dreams, folklore, nature, and the darker corners of imagination, blending emotion, symbolism, and storytelling into pieces that feel both haunting and timeless. I love to explore the darker side of the human experience playing with often surreal and fantastical worlds and beings. I want my art to invoke emotion and wonder to those who view it.

With $25,000, I’d invest in growing my art career, creating larger statement pyrography pieces, upgrading equipment and display setups, attending high-end art fairs, and building a stronger online presence to bring my work to a wider audience. I’d also love to give back to the local community by running workshops and creative sessions that encourage younger people to explore art, creativity, and self-expression through different mediums.
