Pyrography Projects

My pyrography work is mostly portraits, and I take a really slow approach with it. I build it up in layers using light burns, then go back in to darken areas and get the values right. I also do a little sanding in between to smooth things out and help control the tones. It takes time, but that’s what helps me lock in the detail and keep everything looking clean.

Bob (Detial)

I am a Studio Arts major graduating May 2026 and serve as a VADC gallery work-study student and have presented my work to TCC’s Board. As an active community artist, I create public art across Hampton Roads—including murals in Norfolk’s NEON District and Virginia Beach’s ViBe District, a court project at Seatack Park, and banners for the Boardwalk Art Show—while also offering free demonstrations and contributing to community projects like an Earth Day mural with Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation.
