Welcome to the Art of Ann Aria Burstyn

Exclusive Fine Wildlife Photography Prints, Art and Music For Sale–Proceeds go towards Wild Animal Rescues, Domestic Animal Foster Programs and Nature & Wildlife Conservancies

My goal is to work together with you in helping the ones that need us the most; the ones without voices for which we must speak up for; nature and wildlife. My aim is to ensure that our natural environment and its vulnerable wildlife thrives. Especially since we humans are encroaching upon the natural habitats, more and more everyday…

I channel the divine I encounter in Nature and Wildlife through photography, art, music and writing. These moments in time move me and drive me- emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I in turn share these experiences with you in the hopes that you too will see the true divinity of Nature and why there is a need to protect it.

Those who know me are aware of my great love of animals, art, dance, music, nature, singing and writing. I knew at the age of four that I had to have a career in the arts. One of my most favorite past-times has always been to listen to a broad range of music genres and to sing and dance along to them as ways to physically, mentally and emotionally express myself.  I began Classical Ballet and Jazz/Modern dancing at age 6.  By the time I was 9, I aspired to be a professional singer. Animals have also continuously played an integral role in my life. My family always had cats and dogs in the home. I learned there is a special kind of love and bond between humans and animals and have been hooked ever since. I cannot imagine a home without an animal in it now. I have worked with dogs full time including having taken courses in animal behavior and natural health. I also do fostering and rescue and act as an animal rights advocate. For updates on this venture please visit this  tab: https://www.annburstyn.com/animal-rights-rescue/

I have been in Toronto based bands and have performed in several operas and operettas since 1996. I have also written and recorded vocals and lyrics for other people’s songs and radio jingles since 1999. I teach vocal lessons as well. For more information on lessons, please visit this link: https://www.annburstyn.com/vocal-coaching/

My current main musical focus, for the last nearly 20 years, is my band DREAM ARIA https://www.annburstyn.com/dream-aria/. Our fifth cd “Out of the Void”  is our newest release. A sampling of songs can be heard on the Dream Aria Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/Anndreamaria. There is always up to date news about the band at this link. More songs can be heard on Reverbnation at: https://www.reverbnation.com/dreamaria/songs

Select music videos for DREAM ARIA can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0NOhYNY5T0RA2G72m-KUTw

I am open to and available for collaboration with other musicians at this time. I do need to keep my chops up and love a good challenge so please do reach out if you would like to try something new or if you are in need of help with lyrics, or vocals for your projects! 

I have been writing poetry, short stories, lyrics, music reviews and music columns as a hobby and professionally since 1985. Currently I am a freelance writer working with the Lazie Indie Magazine, featuring my “Canadian Content Corner” column which highlights iconic and up and coming Canadian artists of every genre.  One of the articles is a full magazine feature on the Canadian legendary band Streetheart. Here is a link to it: https://madmagz.com/magazine/1819813#/

The magazine has tied in our “Canadian Content Conversation Corner” to the Zoom Interviews I have had with various Canadian musicians, most notably and recently with Darby Mills, formerly of the Headpins and currently of The Darby Mills Project.  The interview can be seen here: https://youtu.be/DiZbTRRl6qg

A link to the full magazine feature I wrote about her is here: https://madmagz.com/magazine/1847801?fbclid=IwAR32A2g7EdQRLaoiY6TXzZnjskaOMqBimcGcj9SYQSs2_HZziQ2EgLIuG5I#/

Also, we released a Full Magazine Feature on the late, great, Neil Peart of RUSH that can be viewed at this link! It is a must read for any Neil and RUSH fans, if I do say so myself! You will not be disappointed. There are some little known facts about Neil, a link to a live Zoom Interview I did with the lovely Donna Halper, a comprehensive history on Neil and RUSH and also some out of this world original artwork highlighting the incredibly talented, and highly regarded Scottish artist Charlie Roy.  https://simplebooklet.com/lazieindiemagazinespecialeditionneilpeart1?fbclid=IwAR2S0myB-fmCiR8Tw4gqk4I-_YZqgrcpTImc7oQ033W-wLfpzToX1htOUjQ#page=1

As another creative outlet and form of expression, I have been delving into my long-time passion, Photography and Photo Art. I specialize in Wildlife, Landscape, Abstract, Experimental, Sunrises/Sunsets, Moon Rises/Moon Sets and as a beginner in Astrophotography ( which I am avidly learning).

I also draw and paint and will add some art pieces here soon. My main mediums of choice are soft and oil pastels, pastel pencils, pencils, black charcoal, gel pens, and at times acrylics. My drawings are not thought out ahead of time but flow in the moment. I prefer to just let the creative ether release onto paper and see what transpires. Usually the images depict the beauty, emotion and energy of wildlife, the divine and spirituality. I also enjoy combining my photographs with my art to create ethereal, surreal, thought provoking images. Recently I have been having some fun with Double Exposures and Photo Compositions. Here is an example of one such piece called “Day & Night”. It is a combination of a gorgeous misty, cool, Fall sunrise, Mars, the Moon, Comet Neowise, Jupiter and its Moons and some Stars. As you can tell, I do love to ‘look up’ to marvel at and capture the wonders of our skies and universe as well as all things Mother Nature! If you have any photography needs, again, please reach out in the comments and I shall get back to you.

I am also a Freelance Website and Graphic Designer, specializing in web sites and posters for Photographers, Artists and Musicians, so if you are interested in trying something creative for your web and art designs, please do get in touch.

Various types of merchandise will be added to this site for Dream Aria products and for also Art Prints and more at the “Shoppe” tab: https://www.annburstyn.com/shoppe/
