The Long Beach Creative Group is proud to present Full Creative Vision: An In Memoriam to Marka and Mic Burns, a tribute to the artistic legacies of Marka and Mic
The Long Beach Creative Group is proud to present Full Creative Vision: An In Memoriam to Marka and Mic Burns, a tribute to the artistic legacies of Marka and Mic Burns, whose creative contributions have left an indelible mark on our community.
Marka Burns, a dedicated artist and educator, inspired countless students and educators throughout her career, instilling in them the importance of developing their full creative potential. A graduate of Chouinard Art Institute and California State University, Long Beach, Marka taught art and art education at CSULB for over 30 years. Her pioneering spirit led her to open the first Color Xerox studio for artists in California. Her passion extended beyond the classroom, as she lectured on art and architecture across Europe, coordinated exhibits in prestigious venues, and created artwork that has been featured in private and corporate collections.
Mic Burns, a talented pipe designer and digital painter, began his career after graduating from the Cornish School of Arts in Seattle. Known worldwide for his handcrafted Freehand Pipes under the name “Micoli,” Mic channeled his artistic vision into digital paintings later in life. Inspired by the smallest details—from his wife’s paint palettes to the textures of nature—Mic’s work transforms everyday elements into profound artistic expressions.
The exhibit will run from December 1st to December 15th, with gallery hours from 1-4 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Join us for the opening on December 1st from 1-4 PM, with a time for speeches honoring Marka and Mic from 2-3 PM. Those wishing to speak are encouraged to keep remarks to around 5 minutes.
Celebrate the enduring legacies of Marka and Mic Burns with us, as we reflect on their contributions to art and the community they helped shape.
