Taurus Burns (b. 1974, Kalamazoo, MI) grew up in a military family, living in various cities across the U.S. and Germany. After graduating high school in 1992, disillusioned by a fractured world, he would find a new sense of purpose through his mentor, artist Jon Onye Lockard. In 1998, he moved to Detroit to study Fine Arts at the College for Creative Studies, focusing on race and identity. A BFA graduate, Taurus now mentors emerging artists while creating art that explores racial and cultural themes, continuing his lifelong journey of self-discovery and advocacy.
Taurus is represented by M Contemporary Art and maintains an art studio at 333 Midland
