About the Artist
In 1996, DeVere Burt left a challenging position as president and CEO of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History in pursuit of a life long desire to paint nature. He has illustrated several books, received significant commissions, and has his work in private corporate, and museum collections.
Burt specializes in landscapes and animal subjects. He draws artistic inspiration from a strong background in the natural sciences that focuses on wild landscapes and endangered vertebrates. More recently, he has combined these two interests into a collection of paintings called “Audubon's River.” This portfolio draws its inspiration from the events, creatures, and larger than life personalities that John James Audubon interacted with during a thirteen year period that he lived and worked along the Ohio River. One of Audubon’s more important acquaintances was Lexington's Robert Todd who assisted Audubon with finding employment in Cincinnati. Todd's young daughter, Mary, would later become the wife of Abraham Lincoln.
DeVere Burt, Director Emeritus of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History, lives with his wife, Pat, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
