Kim Burnham

I strive to create functional art that is meant to be seen and used everyday. Creating my work brings me so much joy because I know that each piece will continue to share its beauty with the world. A platter will bring people together as it is passed around a table, a mug will offer a respite to each day, a bud vase will provide functional charm to the expected and a planter will enhance the loveliness of its contents. With a BFA in fashion design from F.I.T. I am drawn to form, texture and functionality. Most of my pieces are manipulated, painted, and carved, at the greenware stage, to create new textures and patterns. I enjoy playing with many different surface techniques and painting styles; my shapes are classic and my aesthetic is airy and timeless.
