A course by Hannah Veiga
Hannah Veiga is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Hamilton, Ontario, whose main practice focuses on pyrography—the art of drawing with fire on wood. Guided by the natural grain, she creates compositions that celebrate the organic character of each surface, exploring the balance between control and spontaneity. Her work reflects themes of growth, decay, and rebirth, inviting viewers to find stillness and curiosity in the natural world.
Before discovering pyrography, Hannah experimented with screen printing, etching, drawing, painting, and mixed-media sculpture. Today, she combines her artistic practice with education, sharing her creative process through workshops and tutorials that encourage sustainability, material awareness, and the expressive potential of natural materials.
