Cat Burns
is a defiant artist who uses flamboyant, sarcastic humor to illustrate her internal narrative. The work explores the delicate strength of glass as a final object, as well as its use as a therapeutic tool. Because the work cultivates slowly over time Cat uses it as a visual diary; colorful confirmation of personal growth. She creates audacious visuals as a way of communicating and synthesizing the often perplexing, manic experience of living with a mental illness. By destigmatizing personal demons, Cat’s work incites her audience to discuss what it means to go a little crazy. She loves passing on her love of glass and teaches classes often at different open access studios.
