     Welcome to Kevin S. Burrill Wildlife Art. My name is Kevin Scott Burrill and I've loved painting since I was a boy, though I've only pursued it seriously for a few years now. As much as I can recall, my fascination with wildlife painting started with the paintings in my mother's Audubon Society bird reference book. I would take the book up to my room and flip through it for what seemed like hours, daydreaming about what it would be like to be able to research and paint like that. 

     For a wildlife artist, there's an elusive thrill found in trying to take the amazing feeling that comes from an encounter with an animal or bird while out in nature, and trying to capture those moments in paint for others. If a painting is successful, in my view, it takes those wild experiences and brings them inside to be enjoyed no matter the location or the weather. If you feel even a fraction of the wonder I feel while hiking in the great outdoors, then my art has done its job.

     Growing up, painting would come in waves. And perfectionism would lead to discouragement, which would lead to setting it aside again. I decided to get more serious about my art in late 2018, early 2019. I dove into online research, video lessons, and more. The Covid pandemic shutdown followed and helped me stay focused. The fruit of this new multi-year, concentrated effort has been exciting. In June of 2023 I was officially accepted as a resident artist in Studio 4 at The Arts Depot of Abingdon, Virginia. The Arts Depot is a local historic train depot building repurposed as a tourist attraction where visitors can come and see art shows, purchase and/or commission art, and watch artists working their craft in-person. I'm excited for the connections, the practice, the collaboration, and the supportive environment that this opportunity affords. Since taking my art professional in 2023, I've been blessed to be awarded the 2023 People's Choice Award in the Juried Fine Art competition of the Virginia Highlands Festival. I've split my time between building a body of work, and applying for regional and national events. Year one was exciting, and I can only imagine what year 2 holds (and beyond)! Join me on this journey! If you're interested, you can follow on Instagram (link here), for regular updates on new projects and events.
