Kerry A. Burch
I am an abstract painter and mixed-media artist with a lifelong passion for drawing, painting, and crafting. My academic background includes a focus on science, environmental management, art history and studio art, which I pursued in college and graduate school. I have continued to hone my work with the Del Ray Artisans in Alexandria, Virginia, and am currently an active member of the Durham Art Guild. My artistic practice takes place at Golden Belt Studios in Durham, North Carolina, where I continually seek opportunities for growth and learning from fellow artists. I do show my work at Golden Belt Studios, and am thrilled to be displaying on Third Fridays at 5 Points Gallery in Durham.
My extensive travels across nearly all states in the U.S., as well as to various countries in Europe, Asia, Canada, the Caribbean, and South America, have profoundly influenced my artistic vision. These experiences have immersed me in a rich tapestry of cultural arts and the natural beauty of both urban and rural landscapes. The diverse encounters I’ve had continue to inspire my vibrant and abstract artistic creations.

Who is Kerry A. Burch?
Who is Kerry A. Burch?
I am an abstract painter and mixed-media artist and have been drawing, painting, sewing, and crafting all my life. I studied art history and studio art in college, and showed with the Del Ray Artisans in Alexandria, Virginia. I am currently a member of the Durham Art Guild, and practice at Golden Belt Studios in Durham, North Carolina.
I have been fortunate to have traveled in all but 3 states in the United States, as well as in Europe, Asia, Canada, in the Caribbean, and South America. These experiences exposed me to many different cultural arts as well as to both urban and rural landscapes and natural wonders that continue to provide inspiration for my colorful, abstract artistic endeavors.
