Artworks by Kimberly Burnett

A person is shadows and smears and drips. l translate their life into colors on canvas. Lines create form; colors create a relationship. When I choose a color I am intentional, since each color is deeply felt within me. A place visited may hum with the minor notes of a deep purple or a conversation with a dying loved one is ribboned with a transitory shimmering gold. 

Traditional mediums and techniques have always been my passion. Today, I use that knowledge as a base to satisfy my need for a semblance of reality in my work. Once that base is set, I feel free to add my subjective experiences to the artwork. Although image matters to me, it is my unique experience of that representation that is fundamental to my work.
