Jen Lipski Artist & Blacksmith

Jen Lipski is a Canadian Artist and Blacksmith who uses wood and steel to create rustic designs inspired by animals, nature, and history. Her unique body of work ranges from expressively detailed wildlife portraits burned in wood, to sculpted natural designs and functional items crafted from hand-forged steel. She began her career as a traditional wildlife painter before discovering her passion for fabrication while studying art at University. Expanding her work beyond the canvas to incorporate techniques such as pyrography, carving, staining, blacksmithing, and delicately painted metal patinas, she now creates and exhibits original artwork and functional household items from her studio-gallery in rural Niagara. She also teaches public and private classes in blacksmithing, wood artwork, and metal fabrication
