Ms. Burroughs is a native of California. She has traveled the world for her career in international trade and her personal interest in other cultures. She has visited over thirty countries, always taking the time to explore the art and gardens of the places she visited. Much of her work builds on her love of folk art that is dominate in the countries of Russia, South America and parts of Eastern Europe. The vibrant colors and emotional motifs that characterize the development of art in these countries influences her work.
Ms. Burroughs enjoys using a broad range of techniques and concepts. Her work utilizes oil, oil pastel, acrylics and textiles depending on which medium best suits the concept and emotions with which she is working. She has utilized her interest in textile art, including embroidery which she studied in France, to enhance her paintings. Her work can be viewed at her website . She explains this process in a YouTube interview with the McLean Textile Gallery which can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/O1Xkv8wHTew and will share some of her unique ways of interacting with the surface of her works to introduce texture and the unexpected.
