Wild: Burned into Being, Art Exhibit by Donna Vigliucci
Pyrography simply means writing with fire. It is a captivating process that combines drawing, writing, and pattern-making, using heat to mark the surface. Inspired by nature and the wildlife around us, each piece in this exhibit captures elements of the natural world through line, texture, and controlled temperature. In-person, drop-in, 2nd Floor Exhibit Area
