Trained as a printmaker, interested in materiality and influenced by conceptual art, she experiments with diverse processes to create work addressing historic and contemporary issues. Her research into her genetic profile and subsequent experimentation with fabrication technology have led Burson to continue the exploration of her personal history, visually animating scientific data and linking her generation to the past and the present.

She earned a B.F.A. from the Memphis College of Art and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.
