Ali Burnette
Issue: 2020/10 - October
Every once in a while, you find an artist who just strikes you and your gallery, and one who may not exactly fit the framework, but who is too awesome not to share.
Ali Burnette is one such artist, but one we term contemporary, and her ceramic/clay pieces are as awesome as she is. Take a look and learn more.
As for Ali’s art experience in high school, it was mainly painting and drawing, and that is what she continued with at the onset of her college career. Her art professors very quickly saw that Ali’s art talents leaned toward the three-dimensional sculpting variety. Ali was in numerous graduate school shows.
She uses the “Burn Out” ceramic technique to create her style; she dips the flowers in a casting slip, and the flower is literally burned out in the kiln to create the ceramic piece. They are very delicate and generate a special ambience anywhere they’re displayed.
Ali’s praying crosses are timely, and make exceptional gifts to express sympathy and love to those in need of your prayers. These crosses remind us of the driving force behind all of Ali’s art pieces…for her, they are therapeutic.
To change gears…what’s up for October at the gallery…Ali’s pumpkins and ghosts…a must have for the fall season in the South. They go quickly, so visit the website and score yours early.
When asked what’s next, besides teaching three-dimensional design to her college students, she shared that her inclinations are to return to the bigger three-dimensional designs from her college days.
