Meet the Artist
Hello my name is.... wicca wicca Slim Shady... Just kidding. My name is Paige.
And if you can't tell, I am a product of the 90's. Welcome to my corner of the world! I am so excited to tell you a bit about myself and how I ended up here. Its been a bit of a journey so buckle up, baby.
` `My background is not as an artist, but rather in homemaking, engineering, and teaching. I worked as an electrical engineer for 8 years. When the opportunity to return to being an at home parent presented itself, I jumped. While parenting is my full time passion, I felt something was missing. What to do with myself between crises?
In November of 2020, I wanted to make a special gift for a friend with aging pets to capture the moment in time. I saw these simple wood burnings online, and thought I can do that! Time to put those soldering skills to artistic use! I ordered a cheap pen and some wood and set to work. This is what I came up with. I added a message to the back, sent it to my friend, and fell in love with the art of pyrography!
After a couple successful projects, I got a bit ambitious and wanted to try doing a funny photo of my nephew with a fake mustache. Well, when my husband seemed doubtful, what is a girl to do, but prove him wrong! It is a long way from perfect, and still I was shocked at how great it came out for a first try! He even was so kind as to give me his signature to include.
A little over a year later, a lot of practice, a few burns and here we are. I am so excited to create such unique keepsakes, and I hope you are ready to get started creating your very own. Email me and we can create your next custom gift for a loved one or yourself!
