Summary

Through her observations of the natural world over the passage of time, Jean Burdick is inspired by the layering of light, pattern, texture and color. The artist is interested in the fragility of nature in a changing environment. Burdick draws on her photographs of landscapes, both rural and urban, recording light, shadow and memory for her pieces.

In the studio process, Burdick builds each successive layer of pattern, texture, shape and color. Beginning with silkscreen printing, the artist enhances the image by drawing, painting, printing and experimental mark-making. Each layer magnifies, overlaps, obscures or otherwise enhances the layers that came before.

Reimagining what Burdick has observed, she references organic and man-made structures. The resulting images suggest narratives of unfolding life cycles: birth, growth, death and regeneration, producing a memoir of places and transitions.

Burdick's works have been exhibited regionally and nationally and are included in public, corporate, and private collections including Capital Health Medical Center, Johnson and Johnson Headquarters, Penn Medicine, Miller School of Medicine, Yeshiva University, Mercy Health System, AtlantiCare, and the Mercer County Cultural and Historical Society. Burdick lives and maintains a studio in Bucks County.
