COUNTDOWN SERIES
COUNTDOWN 1, 60”x60”, acrylic and pencil on canvas
We are in a Climate Emergency, but there is still time to avert disaster if we take bold, immediate action at the speed and scale necessary - beyond what politicians have deemed politically possible. The next 7 years is humanity’s best window to enact bold, transformational changes in our global economy to avoid raising global temperature above 1.5 degrees celsius, a point of no return that science tells us is likely to make the worst climate impacts inevitable. See the science at www.climateclock.world

Chapter Of Consequence
Chapter Of Consequence, 48”x60” acrylic, used textbook collage, pencil, oil pastel, crayon, 2024, New York City.
A nation that prioritizes military spending over education is fundamentally flawed. This imbalance serves the oligarchs by keeping the populace undereducated and easier to manipulate for profit and power. Combined with early indoctrination of nationalism, it fuels the military-industrial complex and corporate greed. Education should be a priority for all. Now showing at Canavita Gallery, Astoria, NYC. Inquire for price.

THE FUTURE IS FEMALE
THE FUTURE IS FEMALE, 54”x60”, acrylic on canvas, 2024, NYC. Women's rights are fundamental human rights. The entrenched wealthy male ruling class, threatened by the advancement of gender equality, resorts to eroding rights and freedoms to maintain their dominance. Women embody strength, power, resilience, and so much more. The patriarchal structure will be contested and ultimately dismantled. A profound transformation is imminent, a reckoning is coming. The future is female. ©2024, Bill Burns Design, LLC, Inquire for price.
AVARICE

Fine Art
My works are comprised of colors, shapes, and expressive textures, demonstrating my interaction with each medium at the moment where inspiration meets action. I often work on multiple pieces at the same time. Because I was a professional designer for over 20 years, my process tends toward the creation of a series, each focusing on different nuances of the human experience. I believe in the sublime power of art to inspire new ways of seeing.
All of my Art is available to show and for purchase.
