\n\t\t\t\tMarie Burns, “Reflection at Anchor”, Acrylics. \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I have displayed my work through New Jersey at juried shows and local art fairs. I have gone to Laguna Beach, CA every summer since 1993 to work at the “Art-A-Fair” festival, first as an artist making 1\/2 scale carousel horses. Realizing it costs a fortune to ship my work cross country, I now work on staff selling artwork of other artists. I take the opportunity to go on photo safaris throughout the southwest. I also visit the Rockies in Colorado a couple times a year and do more photography there. As a member of the Center for Visual Arts of New Jersey, I display at their Annual Members’ Shows. In 2005, I was recognized with “Honorable Mention” for my “Weeping at the Tower of Remembrance” picture which I shot at the Shrine of St. Joseph. In 2002, Smith-Kline-Beecham Pharmaceuticals used one of my World Trade Center pictures as part of a permanent memorial in their then headquarters in Jersey City overlooking the WTC site. In a unique experience, an Amish teacher in PA invited me to photograph a school day, capturing the spirit of their culture. I had to be very careful not to photograph faces of the children or teacher. But what I was able to capture was something most people will never have the opportunity to do. I traveled to Argentina on 2 occasions and photographed both the beauty of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires & Iguazu National Park with its 275 waterfalls. I began a new way of displaying photography, as mixed media that is matted photographs painted with picture extensions onto the mat making a 3 dimensional effect. I call it “Outside the Box”. It has been well received by the public. This led me to pursue painting original works on canvas. I do most of my work with acrylics but some paintings in oils and oil\/palette knife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marie-burns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1026,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020\/revisions\/1026"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artleagueofthechathams.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
