I am a pyrography and mixed‑media artist shaped by the salt air and warm light of the Gulf Coast. Living in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, I draw inspiration from the shoreline — the curve of a shell, the sway of sea grass, the quiet patterns carved by tide and wind. These rhythms of the coast guide my hand long before the flame touches the wood.
My journey into pyrography began unexpectedly in 2017. I bought my husband a Burnmaster wood‑burning tool for our anniversary, thinking he’d use it to accent his woodworking projects. I watched him burn letters and swirls into the wood and thought, I can do that better — LOL. I picked up the tool, tried a few strokes, and in that moment, a pyrography artist was born. That same Burnmaster — now very much mine — is still the tool I use to create the artwork you see today.
Every piece I create is a story — one of quiet, calm, passion, and beauty. I invite you to explore the artwork and follow my social media pages to see new pieces as they emerge. Each creation is waiting for the right wall or shelf, ready to become part of YOUR story.
