Oil paintings

Oil painting is my specialty, ranging from loose renderings to soothing realism. With oil, it takes time. Time for the layers to settle with every session, the paint to cure with the final touches, and varnish being the last layer left behind with a brushstroke.

Pyrography

A hot pen and plywood was my first taste of wood burning. Something about it seemed so intuitive. A reminder of a time where I never touched color and only looked at things as shapes, textures, lines, and empty spaces. And yet, when the wax flowed over the grains of wood in it’s completion, with it streamed an abundance of color I dared not touch.

It was perfect just the way it was.

Pyrography holds a permanent place in my heart.

Other Media

Before there was paint and fire, it was pencil. Ink felt like a natural next step. For years I self-taught, drawing what I saw, scratching at printer paper with unfinished ideas. Acrylic paint was introduced into my space, and I used all three primary colors because I didn’t know how colors actually worked.

It wasn’t until I went to University, walking into a drawing class where kids did what I was doing at 12, that I realized I needed more than black, white, and gray. I was hungry for something more.

I found it in the oil painting studio first. A challenge I took on a whim. It was hard, it was challenging, but it fed into something I didn’t realize I needed. Watercolor was the next surprising media that challenged me to my core, but something very important happened.

My introduction to color theory led to an explosion of creative growth. It gave me spirit.

And the rest is history.

“Highly professional and still eye-catching to this day. Her work never fails to be a talking point when see by visitors.”

“I commissioned Firebrush Artistry to do a woodburning picture of a dragon.

From the beginning she was prompt when I reached out and asked lots of questions to get a better understanding of what I was wanting. She wanted to know how soon I was looking to get the piece and I know this takes time I wasn’t really expecting soon and gave a few dates I would like to try and have it by and she beat the earliest date by 2 weeks! She worked with me on wood choice (the piece I liked was no easy piece to work with), she then did multiple drawings for me to choose from. She kept me updated throughout the entire process, from prepping the wood to sketching the drawing on the wood to make sure I liked the positioning and that I was happy with my choices. She gave me weekly updates on the progress. Each update made me more excited to see the next update. I knew she was good but I never imagined exactly how awesome it was going to look. She showed me the piece after all the burning was done and it is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond all expectations.

She is a great person to work with and always very friendly. I will be working with her again in the future and can’t wait to see what she does!”

“Through a casual conversation with Elisa I found out she was an artist, I shared with her a playful idea I had about a portrait of my pets. I showed her some pictures of them, and a few weeks later she brought me their paintings. Right away I was impressed and delighted with the results! She completely understood my vision, and did an outstanding job capturing their likeness. Since that day they’ve been proudly displayed!!! I’m thankful for the outstanding work she did!
