The Greek Collection: Amalia
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on the lady in the background pictured below and which finally marks the definitive beginning of a whole series/collection I want to create, namely, the Greek Collection.
A time-lapse video: making my tortoise relief art table top.
Well, it turns out I had made several videos whilst working on my latest tabletop, which means I got to make a decent time-lapse video as I design and work with the pyrograph making and painting it. Enjoy!
My Journey and Inspiration into Relief Artwork using Pyrography
For my next post I had wanted to write about my rug, or rather wall hanging, ‘Agas’ as a follow-on from my previous post. But to properly do so I really need to go back to the beginning when I first began learning pyrography relief artwork.
Artwork: Evzone Marching
Following a recent trip into Athens to photograph the Evzones standing guard outside Parliament I was inspired to create this artwork.

Artwork: A Minoan Offering
The art of the ancient Minoan civilization has long held a deep fascination for me and so I present my latest artwork ‘Minoan Offering’, 91 x 91 cms, created using mixed media on wood with pyrograph, featuring a characteristic Minoan woman making a symbolic offering to the horse.
