Gretchen CarmodyBurke
Bio:AHS Spanish teacher and pastel artist.
My work is inspired by travel, family and the natural world but only exists because of my supportive artist mother, father and husband. I grew up in Willmar MN, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a degree in Biology and Spanish Secondary Education and live with my husband and 7 year old son in Ashland, WI. From a young age I have always enjoyed drawing and art in many forms probably because art appreciation runs in many facets of my family. This said, I didn’t publicly display my art until after my son was born, my parents moved up here, and I found the support I needed to join an incredible pastel group that meets weekly. Since 2016 I have participated in the Port Wing Plein Air Painting Festival in Aug. My work has been on display at various local art shows in Hayward, Ashland and Washburn. I also do commissioned portraits of people and pets. Please contact me via email gretchencburke@gmail.com or my Facebook page Gretchen Burke pastels
