[edit]

Artistic practice

[edit]

Burk's art is represented by Halde Galerie in Widen, Switzerland and Graphite Galleries in New Orleans, Louisiana.[6] Her work has been exhibited internationally in Los Angeles,[7] Miami[8] and Peoria, Illinois.[9]

In 2009, Burk moved to North Bay, Ontario and began featuring wild animals in her drawings.[10] Burk's most recent solo exhibition, Stories of Contentment and Other Fables, was held at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery from January 13 to March 26, 2017.[5][11] This exhibition featured large-scale drawings of mammals found in Northern Ontario and explored the ideas of human survival instincts and innate behaviours using animal imagery.[10][12] This exhibition was supported by a grant from the Ontario Arts Council.

Burk's work, Full Circle (unrest), was selected for Manifest's International Drawing Annual (INDA 11).[13] The 2017 publication features 120 works by 81 artists and an essay by Morgan Laurens.

[edit]

The Line Gallery in North Bay was founded by Burk in 2011, which is the first gallery in Canada dedicated to exhibiting contemporary Canadian drawing.[14][15] Since its inception, the gallery has held twenty-five solo exhibitions of Canadian artists who specialize in drawing.[16]
