I’ve never identified myself as an artist. My strengths have always leaned toward the culinary world—I’m a capable cook and an award-winning baker—but traditional artistic talent wasn’t something I believed I possessed. Growing up around true creatives, I admired their ability to bring ideas to life and often wished I could do the same. Today, I’ve found my own artistic path by transforming photographs into refined, visually compelling pieces through the craft of laser engraving.
