Marie Kirk Burke – Objects and Personal Effects

Marie Kirk Burke, a contemporary artist working in Chicago, IL, will be featured in a show of her work at the Judy Ferrara Gallery in Three Oaks, MI from February 18th to April 29th.

The show will feature Marie Kirk Burke’s study of objects and personal effects which are both figurative and intimate. Her studies are a pictorial and conceptual experience. The work has a nostalgic realism that moves towards a contemporary impression, capturing a simple image and the sentimental impact of its commonality. Marie is an artist that presents the viewer with pleasure and insight into the wider world by focusing on a small aspect of it. She works from life in her studio in Chicago, staging each painting to tell a story.

Marie received a B.F.A. from Boston College, studied at the Decordava Museum School in Lincoln Ma. and earned a certificate in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
