#185 Anthony Burks: Creating Beauty with Colored Pencils

<p>I first spoke with artist Anthony Burks in Episode 27. Anthony is a friend who lives near me, and we have worked together on art shows for the past few years. Anthony is a colored pencil artist who creates on paper, and often on wood and other found objects. He adds other materials, like charcoal and watercolor too. He had a full year scheduled with out of state art shows as well as his teaching and mentoring gigs, which all had to be cancelled. Before the pandemic, he had applied to a local fellowship, and he received it this summer. That has opened up many opportunities for him, including a move into a group studio space. He probably has worked harder than he ever has this year, creating new projects and seeking out artist grants.
