The Art of Pyrography

Artist: Michael O'Shields
​AS SEEN ON THE RED CARPET OF THE WORLD PREMIER OF STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI AND UNDER THE HELMET DOCUMENTARY ON DISNEY PLUS!!
Please follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
​​I have combined my love of art and pop/geek culture to create unique, hand made, and very geeky works of pyro-graphic art.

What is Pyrography? Pyrography is the art of burning images into wood. Art is all hand burned and takes on average, depending on the size, 5 to 7 days to complete each piece.

I do accept commission work, please feel free to contact me with any questions or just want to chat! All the prints and originals that are available. Thanks!

"Tin Man" was selected to be part of the All you need is Love exhibition through Palm Gallery. Only 10 artists were selected to participate.
All You Need Is Love – A Celebration of Art & Emotion
​Love is the force that connects us, inspires us, and moves us beyond boundaries. “All You Need Is Love” is an art exhibition dedicated to exploring the many facets of love—romantic, platonic, self-love, universal love, and everything in between.
This show invites artists to express love in its purest and most complex forms through painting, sculpture, photography, and digital art. Whether it’s the warmth of an embrace, the nostalgia of a memory, or the resilience of love through hardship, each piece will tell a unique story of connection and emotion.
Join us for an inspiring journey through art that reminds us that love remains the most powerful force of all in a world of chaos and uncertainty.
