Kat Slota is an artist in New Brunswick. She specializes in pyrography, which is selectively and precisely burning wood with a hot point to create intricate designs. She does lot of portraits, still lives, and Christian images reminiscent of Baroque art.
Sometimes, though, her choice of material is delightfully novel. Above and below, for example, is an antique ironing board that is now made into a museum-quality art piece with a hunting scene.
Anything wooden in the home can be made more beautiful with pyrography. Pictured above is an antique spinning wheel that Slota has covered with a leafy pattern. It was popular among visitors at the Mactaquac Craft Festival in New Brunswick.
