My name is Lauren and I am a completely self-taught pyrography artist with a focus in wildlife based in Long Island, NY. In addition, I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician also with a focus in wildlife and exotics as I have always loved animals from a very young age. I went on to intern at the World-Famous San Diego Zoo & Safari Park hospitals in 2023 as I have a strong passion for wildlife and conservation in which I express through my art. I started pyrography as an art hobby to experiment during that time as well in which I started focusing on more later that year. Wildlife conservation is a very important aspect for me in which I showcase through some of my original works. I hope to connect people with animals through my art by showcasing their beauty, need for protection and to raise awareness of the dangers that threaten wildlife worldwide.

A little bit about Pyrography

Pyrography is a very unique and rustic art form that involves the process of burning designs into wood with a handheld heat tool. My main style is realism and I create all of my works by technique of only one single tip that I use to make all of my burnt designs. As you can tell, this art form allows for little to no mistakes in which takes much skill, patience and precision. Pyrography is also a calming and therapeutic-like art form that cannot be rushed and there is just something about the smell of burning wood that touches the soul.
