| Welcome to my Pyrographic Art Gallery My name is Danette Smith and I am a self-taught pyrographic artist living in Ohio. I have worked in various mediums for most of my life. However, I am currently enjoying pyrography-the art of burning on wood and other mediums. I have been burning on wood for the past 6 years and recently I have started to burn on leather. My work has been shown at woodcarving shows, art shows, and craft shows and I have won many awards. I even presented one of my works to noted entertainer Wayne Newton. I have an unconditional love for animals and nature. I specialize in wildlife, pet and human portraits, and flowers. However, my art is not limited to these fields alone. I do commissioned work, and I am willing to accommodate customers regarding their requests. Each piece can be uniquely colored or done in monochrome and is signed and dated by me. Let me create you a lasting treasure! In my galleries you will find pyrography done on a variety of basswood shapes. Basswood is my wood of choice, because it is a soft and almost grain-free wood, which allows me to experiment with various approaches to woodburning for creating my pieces of pyrographic art. Please Note: the pictures in my gallery cannot completely capture the details or the textures utilized in the actual piece you are viewing. I am a proud member of the I.A.P.A. the (International Association of Pyrographic Artists). Also member of National Wood Carvers Association. I hope you enjoy your visit to my gallery, and please return anytime you like to view new examples of my pyrographic art that I will be adding to the site every now and then. Thank you and regards, Danette My Motto is: "Keep burning and learning (TM)" |
