Artist Statement
About the Artist
Margena Burnett’s
childhood years spent in rural Virginia and Kentucky instilled in her a deep appreciation of the scenic outdoors. A resident of Ponte Vedra Beach for the past 25 years, Ms. Burnett finds the same thrilling beauty and splendor in her North Florida surroundings. Her love for nature—and Southern landscapes, in particular—are evident in her richly detailed and expressive paintings.
“My paintings reflect a simpler time when natural beauty was still the
focus of our lives. I hope my paintings can take people back to that place in
time, allowing them to make a connection with my art that is uniquely their
own.”
Ms. Burnett’s works
are represented in public and private collections throughout the United States.
