HANNAH VEIGA STUDIO Hannah is a multidisciplinary artist based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Her wood-centered pyrography focuses on nature, flora, fauna, and nautical themes. According to Hannah, she had early struggles trying to find her place as an artist in the vast art world. “My undergraduate studies in fine arts helped me explore new mediums that I never thought I would have the capacity or resources to experiment with; it was a vibrant five years of dabbling in sculpture, printmaking, performance art, picking up a plasma cutter for the first
time and one class had me drawing with my feet.” Although she practiced various art forms, Hannah sought to master one her heart desired. By the end of 2020, she got her first slab of wood and a wood-burning kit and began her pyrography journey. “Immediately, I felt drawn to create designs that would flow with the wood’s existing movement in the grain. I asked friends for some suggestions on things to burn into the wood, and my personal challenge was to incorporate all of these mismatched ideas into one cohesive design. “
