Hi, I’m Raye Ann.

I create one-of-one work rooted in identity, story, and the things people want to hold onto. Each piece is guided by artistic vision and created with intention, translating something meaningful into work that can be lived with, kept, and passed on.

I came to pyrography seven years ago, drawn to a medium that rewards stillness and care. What began as a search for something meditative became a practice shaped by patience, precision, and intention. Fire gives me a way to reveal depth, character, and beauty slowly, one mark at a time.

My subjects range from wildlife and the natural world to people, places, and moments that carry personal meaning. What connects them is narrative. Every piece tells a story, and the wood becomes part of how that story is told. Grain, live edges, natural markings, and organic shapes influence the composition rather than simply serving as the surface beneath it.

I create each piece once, for one story, and never reproduce it. That keeps the work personal and protects what matters most to me: creating art with enough depth, care, and intention to remain meaningful long after it leaves the studio.
