Diana Burko’s landscape images transcend the rudimentary scene of nature and the conventional format of the figure-ground, horizon, and the sky.  In her paintings and her digital images, she seeks and creates landscape views that are unexpected, relatively untouched, and breathtaking.  She invites the viewer to experience the power of the environment and to recognize that her landscapes become a vehicle … to explore formal juxtapositions of scale, color, and abstract marks.

Diana Burko reminds us that it is imperative to celebrate what is beautiful in the tumultuous times we live in.  It is this visual, conceptual approach that renders her images apart from the traditional landscape painter.
