Burman was born in Lot et Garrone, France and brought up in
France. She initially trained as an
architect, but later began painting. She works mainly in pen and ink, and watercolor. This spontaneous media encourages her to create series of works, because overworking or reworking each painting with new ideas is difficult. She has had exhibitions of her work in India, France, and the UK. She is the youngest member of an
extended family of artists: her father,
Sakti Burman (from
Kolkata) and French mother
Maite Delteil, are both prominent artists, as are her cousin,
Jayasri Burman and Jayasri's husband,
Paresh Maity. ==Awards==
