Marie Kirk Burke’s study of objects and personal effects is both figurative and intimate. Her studies are a pictorial and conceptual experience. The work has a nostalgic realism that moves towards a contemporary impression, capturing a simple image and the sentimental impact of it’s commonality. Marie is an artist who presents the viewer with pleasure and insight into the wider world by focusing on a small aspect of it.

McCord is excited to showcase the work of our dedicated instructor Gary Wick as he enters retirement and to introduce the paintings of our new pastel instructor Julie Skoda.
