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.
Cat’s work has been shown and sold through the likes of Netflix “Blown Away”, The Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Gallery, The Princeton Museum of Art, Hudson Beach Glass, and The Arts Council. She has used glass as a conduit for traveling all over the world and enjoys bringing others into the community through teaching!
