Her work Snowbird (c.1983) is an acrylic on canvas painting utilizing various hues on pinks, reds, purples, greys, and browns that create a depth and dynamic unlike most other work. Burwell uses her art to advocate for environmental and spiritual awareness by creating abstract pieces in organic forms inspired by nature and spirituality.
