Suzanne Burns
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Ms. Burns received her BFA in Painting from Fort Wright College of the Holy Names, and her General Art Degree from the University of Washington. She works in paint, clay, and stone. Her work is “figuratively abstract” with emphasis on creating a smile and an occasional deep thought.
Ms. Burns shares: “I have always worked in pencil, watercolor, oils and mixed media, but for the last ten years have taken these images to three dimensions in stone sculpture, using marble, alabaster and occasional soapstone.”
The gallery is quite excited to see her new work, as she was a popular full-time artist in the gallery many years ago. She is known for her sweet bird paintings, and really considers birds to be at the heart of her work. “They literally fly onto the canvas, and peek out of the stones that I carve. They are my messengers.”
A super kind and creative spirit, Ms. Burns credits her creativity from moments in nature, where she feels enlightened by observing the beauty and wonder all around her.
