Danette Smith - Fine Artist
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, leather, watercolor paper, and other mediums. I have been burning now for the past 5 years. My work has been shown at woodcarving shows, fine art shows, and I have won many awards. I even presented one of my works to noted entertainer Wayne Newton.
I have an enormous love for animals and nature. I specialize in wildlife, pet portraits, and human portraits. 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 wood burning for creating my pieces of pyrographic art. However, I have recently been burning on Birch Plywood, and Italian Poplar as this wood allows me to frame my works.
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
