There's no erasing' - Chattanooga artist uses torches to burn wood into art

A Chattanooga artist found a way to make her work stand out, by turning up the heat. At Art Instincts, Hollie Berry uses fire to bring a wood canvas to life. "I started burning my first picture and it came out way better than I thought it would, and I didn't set anything on fire," Berry said. She uses three different sizes of torches to burn wood into art. "You preserve your whites and you very gradually build up your darks. " She calls this torch painting. "There's no erasing. "
