denene wood burning

Denene Edwards crafts distinctive, hand-burned wood artworks that blend patience, precision, and storytelling. Starting with reclaimed offcuts, she developed a signature style of bold outlines, layered shading, and smoky textures. Designs complement the timber’s grain; controlled heat builds soft tones and deep shadows; fine-tip tools add highlights and micro-textures; each piece is sealed for longevity. Themes range from expressive portraits to botanical forms and mythic/pop elements like skulls and masks. She prioritises sustainably sourced timber and meticulous panel preparation. Collectors value the authenticity (no prints), unique grain, and durable finish. Based in Melbourne, she welcomes commissions—most delivered within three weeks—with standard pieces at $5 and custom burns at $10 plus postage. Display out of harsh sunlight, dust gently, and avoid moisture.
