About 

Justin Burns is an artist, educator, and creative technologist whose work blends painting and digital media to explore memory, place, and the passage of time. Raised in Farmers Branch, Texas, he draws from childhood spaces, everyday objects, and his family's century-old farm and the town of Kopperl, Texas. His paintings on aluminum and Dura-Lar preserve the textures of weathered environments and layered histories, holding fragments of personal and shared memory.

His newest body of work pushes further into that territory — reintroducing childhood objects into the remembered spaces where they once existed. These reunions of object and place become quiet investigations into how memory reconstructs itself, and what it means to return something to where it belongs.

His practice extends into interactive installation, projection mapping, augmented reality, and creative coding — not as an overlay on the work, but as an extension of it. Whether through airbrush paintings that integrate digital processes into surface and composition, or immersive environments where light, sound, and projection activate the physical artwork, each concept is allowed to determine its own medium.
