Josephine Cora Prins is a Minnesota based pyrography and watercolor artist. In her work, she uses a variety of pyrography techniques to balance the natural wood grain with burning and color to create a refined landscape. Her inspiration is drawn from travels with her family as well as local lakes and landscapes in the area. Josephine has a bachelor’s degree in graphic communications management from the University of Wisconsin Stout with a minor in Spanish and Art. This degree led her to start out her career as a sewing production manager at a printing and signage company in Wisconsin. Wood burning and lettering soon became an outlet to escape the stress during the day. Josephine began sharing her projects online and began to receive requests for commissions. New projects led her work to evolve into what it is today and have allowed her the opportunity to be home with her girls while pursuing a career as an artist. She is now an award-winning artist showing her work nationwide including gallery representation in Atlanta, Georgia as well as showings in the Twin Cities area.
