I Burn Trees For a Living: Pyrography Artist: Chris Burns

Pyrography is the art of writing with fire; an ancient craft used by artists around the world to permanently mark a variety of surfaces. Equipped with an arsenal of specialized tools and combining my skills as an artist with my background as a woodworker, I have been able to burn my mark on Toronto’s vibrant art community. I take great pride in putting a modern twist on pyrography and exposing a new generation to the possibilities of this niche medium.   

Most of the work I do is commission based, and working with a variety of different clientele to create art has really helped expand my portfolio. Because of this, I like to think of myself as a well-rounded artist that can adapt to different styles based on a specific project or objective. 

Feel free to give me a follow on social media and have a look through a ton of my prior work!
