By the time artist Bob Ferris from The Dalles, Oregon, USA, arrived on line recently, his pyro-reputation had already preceded him. Bob's love of art goes back his whole life. He discovered the medium of pyrography about thirty years ago and later authored a how-to book entitled "The Art of Woodburning," which was published back in 1976 and sold 100,000 copies. His merits also include getting featured in numerous newspaper articles, spots on five TV stations, and recently an article in the April–May 1999 issue of "Birds & Blooms" magazine for his pyro-decorated water garden.

Once he got on the internet, Bob didn't take long at all to get acquainted and make new friends. He soon joined the Int'l Ass'n of Pyrographic Artists (IAPA) and was featured in the following issue of the WWWoodcarver E-Zine (January/February 2000). For the IAPA group, he soon started showing images of his work on a photo site, and didn't waste any time setting up and settling in on his very own Bob Ferris website, which displays a wide array of work by this multimedia artist and photographer. Bob was also selected to show a sampling of his work for Gorge Arts—The Columbia Gorge Arts and Culture Council, a non-profit corporation created with a vision to preserve and promote the artistic, cultural and historic resources of the greater Columbia River Gorge area there in Oregon where Bob lives.
