Pat DeVane Burns

I’m changing. My art is changing.

Always a lover of animals and nature, they will continue to be prime targets for my creative expression. But more and more I’m intrigued by ‘slice of life’ venues. Perhaps it simply took a lot of living to really notice the nuances of living. Not grandiose, not glorified… simple, honest. Not dark, not negative… sometimes tongue-in-cheek, always upward. And juxtapositions... organic shapes against strong geometrics, saturated color against muted neutrals, bright light against strong shadows. There is beauty in the everyday. Our ability to see it and share it forms a human connection that is, at once, timely and ageless.

I attended Governors' Honors at Wesleyan College, entered Berry College on a full-tuition art scholarship and have studied since then under Art Werger, Scott Duce and Marlin Adams.

Currently my work can be seen in Georgia at Art on the Avenue and Macon Arts in Macon, Glynn Art Gallery on St. Simons Island, The Old Jail Art Center in Darien, Madison Art Guild Cottage in Madison, Arts Clayton in Jonesboro and Magnolia Gallery in the Lake Oconee area of Greensboro.
