Hi, I’m Kez

 Artist, Pyrography Mentor,
and Chief Encourager

 I am a professional Pyrography artist and mentor,
I’ve been teaching since 2006 and discovered my love for pyrography in 2017 — specialising in realistic pyrography such as fur, feathers, portraits of people and animals.

I know how tricky it can be to get started or to feel like you’re "doing it right."  

I’ve built the Phoenix Pyrography Academy to be the space I wish I had when I started: a kind environment with no pressure, where you can learn at your own pace, ask questions without fear, and create art you’re genuinely proud to show off.  

Begin With Confidence

Getting started with pyrography shouldn’t feel like fumbling around in a smoke cloud.

Try my beginner-friendly workshops and printable guides to get your
bearings and build a solid foundation — no jargon, no overwhelm.
Perfect for pyrography for beginners.

It was a very worthwhile session for me and hopefully will set me up with more confidence as I hopefully progress in this craft 🤞 THANK YOU KEZ !!"
