Women's History Month Speaker
March 26, 2021
August Burns will give a surprising and thought-provoking take on Art History. Inspired by the #metoo movement, it’s time to challenge our assumptions and reclaim women’s place in the tradition of great Western art. August Burns is an award-winning portrait and figurative painter who seeks to capture the character and essence of her subjects through her art. www.augustburns.com Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the United States. In 2016, she was selected to paint the official portrait of Governor Peter Shumlin which now hangs in the Vermont State House in Montpelier. August works out of her studio in Middlesex, Vermont.
