Hello there! I'm Kristin Buchanan, The Wandering Pyro. I grew up in the Missouri in the Ozark foothills. My childhood was filled with explorations of the outdoors by hiking, camping, and road tripping.
My love of wood brought me to the art of pyrography. I began my wood burning journey in 2018 with simple doodles and shapes as I have no formal art training. The velvety softness of the wood and the smell of wood smoke ignited my senses. My outdoor adventures as well as my time spent with wild animals are a continuous source of inspiration. I want my art to be a way for people to bring nature into their homes and remember the wildness we all have within us.
