Western Contemporary Art of Nikki Pettitt

Branding is used in western culture to mark ownership. Typically found on cattle, it makes sure that they aren't lost amidst other roaming livestock. Pyrography (or wood-burning) is an art-form I have used to "brand" my artwork. I've used it to distinguish myself from other forms of artwork. Along with pyrography and other mediums I use, I seek to communicate the history, experience, or concept I have found while in the back-country of the wild west.
