Burel credits his success to his late mother, Helen Naha. He was encouraged to learn the art of traditional pottery making at the age of 7. He appreciates and values his mother for teaching him the ways of their ancestors.
Burel has created his very own unique style. He was inspired by his own daughter, when one day she came home with a computerized photo of a spider that she had drawn at school. The design of the spider fascinated him and late one night he decided to experiment with the spider design on his pottery. People often refer to him as "Spider-man."Burel was a teacher for many years and his teaching career took priority over his pottery making. He now solely dedicates his life to his wonderful uniquely painted pottery.
Burel's pieces are of superb quality, and his form of painting is flawless. Burel is a fabulous artist with a distinctive style. He signs his pieces with a feather and a Long Hair Katsina.
