Biography
After studying and working as an engineering technician in
Dublin, Brendan Power returned to college to study fine
furniture making at the Letterfrack Institute of Technology
in Galway. This led him to specialize in an art form called
pyrography.
Pyrography is the art of burning images into wood. Originally the traditional craft of pyrography was carried out with a hot poker. Nowadays, there are specialized machines which heat up a thin wire allowing the artist to burn continuously for several hours. Brendan has just recently designed a patented pedal powered pyrography machine which enables him to create his work outdoors whilst generating the electricity required. When not working out of his studio in Kinsale Co. Cork,
Brendan can be found travelling around Ireland demonstrating this relatively unheard of art form. Each of his pieces consist of a unique illustration and are finished to the highest standard. Brendan sells his work at exhibitions, galleries and art festivals around Ireland.
