Wear Art like a Mood

Hats, Jackets, Boots & More

This art is special.

Not just because your outfit is about to be elevated. This is intricate hand-burned art you’ll cherish and talk about for years, all while wearing it.

Whether you claim one from my own collections or we make a custom piece from your own story, you’ll walk away with something that finally feels like you.

I’m Dana Carlson -

pyrography artist and keeper of messy, meaningful creative spaces for myself and others.

I practice art for the voice it gives me. I hold space for the voice it gives you.

From the wearable art, to paintings, to seasonal ArtPlay gatherings, this is all one thing.

Art as a way back to yourself.

Lose your self judgement and let yourself play.

ArtPlay

Creative Experiences for Real Connection.

Whether you’re gathering friends or finding your own creative spark again , this is for you. I bring the art, structure, and gentle nudge. You just show up as you are.

These aren’t sip-and-paint nights.

Art play is the kind of room where you can be a little messy, a little unsure, and feel more like yourself than when you walked in.
