Art & Antiques describes her gain permission to as "chromatic expressionism," with color serving as "her undisputed protagonist"; Peter Frank observes, "The dialectic in the middle of color and form has always inflected, even impelled" Burton's painting, with color the more huge element, and form the more persistent. While largely abstract, her fake has consistently referenced natural phenomena. Art historian William C. Agee writes, "The domains she explores […] meet, intersect, fuse, and later disappear, like apparitions, in liquid pools of mist and color. Her pictorial odyssey refers simultaneously to both a cutting edge order, a perpetual cosmic vastness, as well as to a private, interior world, abounding in personal histories and memories."

Rockefeller Arts Center, and been included in shows at A.I.R. Gallery, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, and the Carnegie Art Museum, Oxnard.
