KY artist Sue Burkett exhibit at Center for Rural Development By Sharon Dodson The Center for Rural Development's newest visual art exhibit features the work of Kentucky contemporary artist Susan "Sue" Burkett. Burkett, a juried member of the Sheltowee Artisans Guild, is showcasing some of her signature pieces of art highlighting bold colors, large shapes, patterns, and textures. The exhibit, called Sue Burkett ART on Display, includes scenes from colorful images captured in and around Burkett's home in rural Kentucky. The exhibit is open to the general public through November and may be viewed at The Center, located at 2292 South U.S. 27 (at Traffic Light 15) in Somerset, during normal business hours 8amET to 5pmET Monday-Friday and extended evening and weekend hours when the facility is open for public events. "We are committed to supporting local and area artists and giving them a platform to exhibit their work," said Laura Glover, Managing Director of Marketing and Events at The Center for Rural Development. "We invite the public to view the art exhibit and enjoy the wonderful artwork created by one of our hometown artists." Burkett's art is influenced by her travels and life. She has a strong sense of line and uses bold colors, similar to western stained glass and Arabic tiling. Her primary medium is paint, but she does not limit her materials, incorporating office supplies and household items alongside traditional art supplies. "Art is something I have always enjoyed doing and I've painted from grade school through today," Burkett said. "I prefer to work from real plants and scenery to keep my drawings alive and dimensional. When I work from photographs, the drawings become flat. My work is contemporary, colorful, and fun." A native of Cincinnati Ohio, Burkett earned a bachelor of fine arts from Ohio University before starting a long career as an art teacher. She traveled the world with her three children and husband, Somerset native Barry Burkett, during his service with the U.S. Navy. Burkett has lived throughout the United States, and in the Philippines and Saudi Arabia, and has visited too many countries to count. Each piece in the Sue Burkett ART on Display exhibit is labeled and most are available for sale. Burkett also has included in the exhibit a group of artist collection mugs. The personalized coffee mugs -- each with a different floral scene--are available for $20 each. If interested in purchasing a piece of art in the exhibit, please call Debra Hines at 606-677-6000. Established in 1996 through the vision of U.S. Congressman Harold "Hal" Rogers, (KY-05), and other leaders, The Center for Rural Development is a nonprofit organization fueled by a mission to provide leadership that stimulates innovative and sustainable economic development solutions and a better way of life in Southern and Eastern Kentucky. In its 45-county primary service region, The Center provides innovative programs in leadership, public safety, technology, and arts and culture.
