My name is Kat, and I work with fire and wood. I live in beautiful rural New Brunswick, Canada, and I'm inspired each day by the beautiful provincial park surrounding my home.

I have over 10 years of experience in handcrafts, including textile arts and woodburning. My specializations include blackwork line embroidery, silk shaded single strand embroidery, needlework pattern design, and pyrography by hand on a variety of wood species.

My work is influenced by historical illustration, classical drawing and medieval and renaissance woodcuts. As an ancient art form, woodburning is an extremely versatile medium which lends itself beautifully to exploring tensions and harmonies between linework and material.

I sell my work locally throughout New Brunswick, and online as rivervalleycraft across social media.
