Artist in Residence 2025 – 2026

Visual Storytelling with James Burke

This year’s artist, James Burke, has been in the arts for almost all his life.  Since sitting at the kitchen table drawing with his Crayolas to now ‘retired from the business world’ and painting every day, he has had a need to record his thoughts with some kind of visual medium. He believes that telling stories through visual communication is timeless and incredibly important – not only for the artist but also for the viewer.  When we tell stories, we learn to open up our minds to the world and we ask to see other stories.
