Calgary Artist, Deborah Burke works almost entirely in abstraction because it allows the viewer to have their own experience of the colors, the magic of life. The absence of created form allows movement as a result of the eye encompassing the whole, with the colors themselves luring one into a different space, challenging one to create new personal associations. The textures that are applied to the canvas allow the experience to become more tactile, thereby enhancing the involvement of the viewer on multiple levels at once.
Her inspiration comes from the colors found in nature. She applies those colors to canvas and then becomes merely a facilitator allowing the painting to express itself.
