Angela Burns

Angela Burns is a well known Dunedin artist. She specialises in painting and has been doing so for the last twenty five years. Angela graduated in Painting, Ceramics and Sculpture from the School of Art at Otago Polytechnic, then later went on to graduate in Museum Studies and Art History.

Angela's art work reflects local land forms and scenes, in a somewhat expressionist and abstract manner. Angela is particularly fond of fellow women abstract expressionists such as Lee Krasner, Eva Hesse and Joan Mitchell. In the numerous reviews on her work however, Angela's paintings have been compared to great New Zealand artists like Milan Mrkusich and Tosswill Woollaston.

In recognition of her work, Angela has been presented with the following awards:

Cleveland Art Awards, Merit award (2000)
Cleveland Art Awards, Merit award (1998)
Cleveland Art Awards, Honorable Mention (1996)
Mainland Art Awards, Third Prize (1995)
Telecom Awards, finalist (1995)
Kaitaia Aotearoa Arts Festival, 2nd prize (1990)

Angela is also active in exhibiting her work, both in solo and group exhibitions. To date her exhibitions have been held at: Moray Gallery, Renaissance Gallery, Gray's Studio, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Bond Street Gallery, Marshall Seifert Gallery, The Forrester Art Gallery (Oamaru), Artworks Gallery (Wanaka), Eastern Southland Gallery (Gore), Southland Museum and Art Gallery (Invercargill), CSA Gallery (Christchurch), Artline Gallery (Auckland), Louise Beale Gallery (Wellington) and Gallery De Novo.

Angela was recently also asked to participate in a touring exhibition of nine Dunedin artists, which went through to the North Island. Her work can be found housed in numerous collections, both public and private, throughout the country
