Valentine interviews talented San Francisco based painter and dear friend Ellen Burgin. Ellen talks about the impact of growing up in the South and how it has been woven into the fabric of her life, the importance of her daily practice- even in the so called quieter periods of her life, the role of community and tips for identifying and settling in to your creative sweet spot.
Ellen Burgin is an abstract artist who works in a variety of mediums on paper and canvas. Burgin’s paintings can be found in the permanent collections of two museums: The Huntsville Museum of Art in Alabama and the Alexandria Museum of Art in Louisiana. She exhibits her work nationwide–most recently in the 35th Annual Northern National competition in Rhinelander, Wisconsin and the Valdosta National in Valdosta, Georgia. Burgin’s paintings are included in the publications Artists of the Bay Area and Wild Lands, curated by gallerist Jen Tough. Burgin is the recipient of several grants and awards for her work, including a Wake County Regional Artist grant and a Vermont Studio Center Artist Residency grant. She received a BFA from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and attended graduate school at Louisiana State University on a teaching scholarship where she received her MFA. Born and raised in Marion, North Carolina, a small town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Burgin has called San Francisco home since 2006.
