Artist Statement for Danette Smith
|
|
|
Welcome to my pyrographic art gallery!
My name is Danette Smith and I am a self-taught 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 became serious about wood burning back in 2003. I have shown my work at woodcarver shows and art shows and have won many awards in competition. I have presented one of my works to noted entertainer Wayne Newton.
I have an unconditional love for all 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. Let me create you a lasting treasure! Each piece can be uniquely colored using oil pencils or done in monochrome and finished with a protective coating, and is signed and dated by me.
In my home website 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. I also work with Birch plywood, Oak plywood, Aspen plywood and Poplar as it allows framing.
I have recently started to build unique wooden frames for my artwork which can be seen at http://www.geocities.com/dangee1/FramesforSale.html
Please Note: the pictures in my gallery cannot completely capture the details or the textures utilized in the actual piece you are viewing.
I receive a lot of joy from art admirers who appreciate my ability to capture the beauty of nature or their special pet and make it available for them to enjoy on a daily basis in their homes.
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 my home website every now and then. Below is the address for more pictures of my Pyrographic art.
