Artist of the Month

Molly Burnette

The Fredericksburg Art Guild, located at 308 E. Austin Street in Fredericksburg, will

celebrate the art of Molly Burnette at a First Friday Art Walk reception on September

1, from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m.  Ms. Burnette’s show will run from August 31 through October

1 in the Art Guild’s featured artist Gallery.

Burnette lives in Fredericksburg.  Her show’s title is “The Absolution Series.”  In her

own words, “The Absolution Series is about the forgiveness and freeing of the soul, my

soul, from personal hardship and the feeling that I got to gain control of my life.  I was

holding on so tightly to the outcome that…nothing was happening and I wasn't getting

anything done.  As soon as I let go and surrendered, everything began to flow and I

loved painting again.   This series is an expression of that freedom and surrender.”

Burnette Has a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Colorado Boulder.  She has

been an artist since she was a child, growing up in Georgetown, Texas.  Her mother

nurtured and supported her art, and has been a great influence all of her life. 

She is an Abstract Expressionist using meditation and her spiritual practice to inspire

her paintings.  Her paintings, always colorful and full of movement, are definitely

unique.  Also influencing her are her daily walks with her two Corgis.
