Gregory Burns' earlier work encapsulated the beauty of the California dream, while recent imagery derives symbols and references to his time in Asia. His expressive color draws from the coast and his imagery has evolved from literalness to suggestion. Burns, who is paralyzed as a result of polio, is also an award-winning Paralympian who holds four world records with six gold, silver and bronze medals.

"My palette has deepened and my strength and confidence increased. Art returns me to my heart and that which is of ultimate importance."

"These paintings express my physical relationship and spiritual connection with the earth, water, and sky and how I am transformed by each."
