Bobbie Burgers was born in 1973 in Vancouver, B.C. She received a B.A. in Art History in 1996 from the University of Victoria.
She has studied in Aix-en-Provence, France and returns often to recapture the life, light and spirit of Provence that she embues into her painting.
Burgers is known for her luscious bouquets, blown up botanicals and pastoral landscapes which focus on sumptuous colour and wild movement. Believing that the tragedy of beauty is its inevitability to fade, she captures that fleeting moment and makes one pause and absorb the wonder of what surrounds us.
Burgers' strong, assured brush work and keen sense of colour are the essence of her work, which has become richer, denser and more complex as her ideas rapidly evolve.
With over 40 solo exhibitions, Burgers has attained international stature.
Burgers' next solo exhibition will be in July 2009 in Bau-Xi Vancouver and October, 2009 in Toronto Bau-Xi
