ABOUT

 Born Robin Ballard, in Newmarket ON, I studied visual arts at the University of Guelph, focusing on painting and photography.  I lived briefly in Scotland, where I married, adopting the surname Burnett, before returning to settle in Newmarket.  Return visits to Scotland’s rural countryside offer a continued source of inspiration.  Recent works also include inspiration from Canada’s east coast, mixed with isolated Georgian Bay landscapes and rural Ontario. Each landscape holds subtle reminders of time’s impact on the land whether through nature’s elements, or the seasonal cycles; and many works explore man’s influence on the natural landscape.  I work in oil glaze, building up thin layers of paint, and allowing the primer to shine through the paint, which give my paintings a luminous quality.  I am an active member of the Newmarket Group of Artists and helps to organize the Newmarket Art Walk and Studio Tour each fall.

VISION

UPCOMING SHOWS

UNIQUENESS

The permanence of the natural world in stark contrast to life's fleeting moments and seasonal changes. 

UNIQUENESS

UPCOMING SHOWS

UNIQUENESS

Panoramic oil glaze landscapes that show the white glow of the canvas through the layers of colour and detailed miniature vistas. 

Works are often intimate, miniature pieces displayed in shadowbox frames or as three dimensional woodblocks, which hang directly on the wall.
