Crystal Rivero

My name is Crystal, I've been doing many types of art since I was 5 years old. I did murals, paintings, airbrushes and tattoos. When I was a teenager, my grandmother gave me a gift that was sent from her brother in California. He was a pyrography artist, but he did landscape art. I asked him if he ever did pyrography with people. He said, "No, It's harder with people." So, I took that as a challenge and learned pyrography. I fell in love with it! When I started selling my service, I realized a lot of people were missing certain memories in their lives. Some did not have family photos taken, and some lost loved ones and wanted a certain memory of them. While others wished they had certain photos taken, but have 5 different photos and they want them in one. That's when I realized what I really wanted to make my business off. It wasn't the artwork itself. The best part was seeing the reaction of my customers when I handed them a piece of art, of a memory that was created that they never had! I have cried, I have laughed, smiled, hugged, and connected with my customers on a different level because of my art. This is why I continue to do what I love! I always tell everyone, "It's never too late to create a memory."
