- About Me:
- My name is William Burton Jr. I am a visual artist/ pyrographer and native St Louisan.
Visual art has always been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother always said that I had been drawing since I learned to hold a pencil. It’s a God-given gift that I strive to respect and perfect, within myself, so I may continue to bless others with my creative visions.
The vital essence to my existence is art. Art is my internal source of communication to my Creator and its viewers. It is also my city of refuge that provides me with an escape to a world of spiritual and emotional peace.
Being a detailed artist, I was always fascinated with each and every stroke in the paintings of the Renaissance masters and that’s something I want to emulate in my work. My mission is to present the world with thought provoking art and images. The images that I create are a reflection of my world and experiences. They also shed light on the realities of life that society tries so desperately to cover up.
My personal mission is to show the world the evidence of a Divine blessing.
The amount of time spent on my work varies. It depends on a number of things - my frame of mind, a song, a personal experience, current events, the Bible, etc. These all become a source of inspiration as well as observing another artists’ work. The artists are a major inspiration because we breathe the same air of imagination and creation.
