"Constructed Realms" featuring Michael Burris and Robin Davis

Nov 6 - Dec 28, 2025

Michael Burris has been a student of the visual arts for fifty years, principally because of his mother who painted in an impressionist style. She won awards in her journey, along with other relatives who were painters. Burris picked up a “serious” camera when he was 16 and focused on making scenes that could be considered art. At retirement from a career in finance 15 years ago, he was able to devote time to making pictures first in a surrealist style and now in a more abstract style focusing on shape and color.

Robin Davis began using her Father’s camera around age 5, and was fascinated by her Grandmother’s stories and old photographs that fueled her quest to make images. She is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of Georgia, and her studies of Art History on the UGA Studies Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy, deeply influenced her to develop her own approach to the medium of photography. As both artist and photographer, Robin has researched and worked extensively with a variety of unique photographic techniques, blending tradition with experimentation to achieve painterly and illustrative images.
