It's the way I see things.
Sometimes it overwhelms me.
It can be so small and everyday and seemingly inconsequential.
It's the angle of the light at a particular time of day.
Or the exact colour of a particular object at a specific moment.
Or an unexpected minute mirrored image.
It becomes an aesthetic imperative to stop whatever I am doing and pay attention.
It's the way I think.
I map memories in a visual cartography.
 

Artist's Biography

Maureen Flynn-Burhoe BVA MA

Born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, I am a Canadian artist with a diverse and rich artistic background. My early exposure to art was shaped by my work at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada, which provided invaluable insights into the world of art.

I pursued formal art education at Mount Allison University, l'Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, and Carleton University, where I honed my technical craftsmanship, critical thinking, and understanding of contemporary art theory.

My artistic practice is deeply influenced by my Baha'i Faith and by experiences in various social, cultural, and physical landscapes. From Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick, the Congo, Ontario, Quebec, Iqaluit, Nunavut, Vancouver Island, and currently Calgary, Alberta, each place has become a source of inspiration for my paintings and drawings. I am comfortable and experienced in working with both figurative and non-figurative themes, allowing me to express a wide range of emotions and ideas.

I have been fortunate to have access to home and co-op studios, as well as numerous exhibition opportunities. My work is held in private collections across Canada, Europe, the Congo, and Brazil, and has been featured in magazines, online platforms, and the Canada Council Art Bank.

I have participated in the Federation of Canadian Artists' juried exhibitions in Calgary and Vancouver.
