Medium: Painting

Burnette was born and grew up in a small Ontario town. Moved to British Columbia with her husband and two small children.

Due to an illness, she retired and had to find a way to fill her days. Painting quickly grew from hobby to passion. Burnette's chosen medium is acrylics. It is the transformations of each project as she works on them that bring her the greatest joy. Animals are Burnette's subject of choice. Her life-like paintings resemble photographs rather than paint on canvas. However, Burnette also enjoys painting in modern abstract, loving the colours and the brightness.

Burnette achieved the title of Associate status with the Federation of Canadian Artists.

Seldom have anyone's golden years shone so brightly.
