Mia Burrus
I am a writer and artist living in a restored one-room schoolhouse in the country north of Cobourg, Ontario. My passion is creating poems and multi-dimensional, multi-media artworks using my poems and images, and found objects to explore the boundaries and spaces between what is spoken and silent, solid and ephemeral, known and unknowable, and mindful and mindless.
My poetry collection, What I Don’t Know, published in 2021, is a selection from years of careful observation and carefree wonder and is available through my website www.miaburrus.com.
Several of my altered-book artworks, each a setting for a poem, were included in the 2022 Juried Show at the Colborne Art Gallery, and the 45th Juried Show at the Art Gallery of Northumberland in February 2024.
