STORY OF AN ARTIST
Steve Hewer
Steve Hewer specializes in fine pyrography encompassing exceptional detail. He specializes in iconic architecture and captivating scenery from around the world.
Inspired by his own photography, and that taken by his friends and colleagues, Steve has set about putting together a collection that should have something of interest for everyone.
Each picture is sketched in pencil on wood before burning. Using six nibs, multiple heat settings, speeds and angles Steve draws sepia toned images mostly on sugar maple hardwood.
Smaller pictures may take as few as 30 hours to complete but most are in the range of 80-200. Extraordinary care is taken to be authentic in the final result but he says sometimes nature needs a little help.
Steve's agenda is simple; enjoy his pictures.
