In her home studio she is expanding her pyrography portrait series. Her body of work focuses on themes of ethnic diversity, representation, and empowerment. Liberty Pierson’s medium of choice is purposefully intended to be an intricate and tedious method. Contrasting against the inspiring and whimsical imagery that she creates on the wood.
