About the Artist

Margit Burmeister's work lives at the intersection of paper, wood, and abstraction. She begins with hand-painted papers or reclaimed wood, often incorporating historical typography and found materials. Each piece grows through discovery, creating layered paintings and collages that draw on memory and observation.

Her background as a graphic designer surfaces quietly in the work. An instinct for grid and structure gives it order, even as she looks for moments that disrupt it.

Burmeister earned a BFA in Graphic Design from Syracuse University and spent her career as a graphic designer in New York. She now works from her studio on the coast of Rhode Island.
