About Artist: Burnice Breckenridgeâs art is the type that remembers a time when women worked the fields picking cotton ,to recognizing the beauty in poor rural everyday life of the south. In 1988 Burnice started working full-time on her paintings , using a medium of oil paints on canvas. Burniceâs back to basic approach to painting shows in her works such as "Tired Feet". The start of what Burnice calls "Home Gallery Showings" took off in Dallas with a great allure to her work. With articles in The Dallas Morning News and Plano Starr Courier, Burniceâs art took off with a popular appeal. Ads and features continued in the Black Pages and The Dallas Observer. During the 90's her popular style grew with her personal Home Gallery showings at clubs and events such as the Dallas Black Auxiliary Club.
Her greatest joy came from her love of teaching art classes at local elementary schools in the Dallas and Plano school districts, which she still does today from time to time. In 1996 Burnice began working with the publishing department of Univ. Of North Texas, where she did over 26 pencil sketches for a book on the history of Plano, TX called "My Remembrance". In 2002, Burnice was hired to do illustrations for a book about The Harrington House, this great Museum House has existed since the time of slavery. Burnice still creates specialized prints for numerous authors, for book covers. She has recently illustrated a novel for Howard Breckenridge, entitled " Rags to Rags" Sheâs a catalyst for young artists that believe in capturing childhood memories and turning it into history. Her work will be appearing with her new Katrina Series at Pacific Traditions Gallery on 19 Pauahi St. (Off Naauanu Ave.) for all ofÊWomen's History Month in March.
