Juliene -----------

Hello! My name is Juliene. I am located in Western, PA and have always had an interest in art of all forms. I took up pyrography in early 2018 after receiving a pyrography tool as a Christmas present the year prior. I enjoy mixing mediums to include colored pencil, paint, wood burning, and scroll saw wood working. I pull inspiration from nature and travel. I've won awards for my pyrography at the Butler, PA Farm Show and awards for my photography at the Saxonburg, PA Festival of the Arts. Thank you for looking at my art and please check out my website to see more of my work!

I have no formal art education (just a BSBA in Management from Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, PA), but I learn from trial and error and from artistic family and friends. I draw inspiration from animals, nature, good conversation, and world travel.
