About Jack Burns
Jack Burns was born and raised in Minnesota. He later lived in Tucson, Arizona and it was there he first showed his work in a gallery. In 1982, he accepted a seasonal job at Zion Lodge and the following year as a park ranger with the National Park Service at Zion. He retired from the National Park Service after a 36-year career. His work is in private collections in the United States and Europe. He is a resident of Springdale, Utah.
I enjoy exploring the abstraction of realism and the Southern Utah landscape lends itself nicely to that. Each painting presents a challenge to capture a moment, experience or feeling. I think it is important to recognize when a painting is pulling itself in a direction all its own and letting it happen. That for me is the beauty and spirit of the creative process.
