Born in Poitiers, France, Chloé Marie Burk grew up in the French countryside in a family of artists and artisans. While she started creating art at a young age and studied fashion in London and Paris, she had “always known” that something was waiting for her in the United States, and she moved to New York City in 2013. Her work, however, is inspired by the simple way of life and country living of her childhood, hard to find in the bustling city, and she quickly moved westward. Burk has lived extensively in Taos and Montana, and finally settled in Milford, Texas. She is interested in preserving the Old West in a modern way through her work. Similar to many others in her field, Burk has studied and recreated artwork by old Western masters such as W. H. Dunton and Frederic Remington, which aims to capture the truth and classic feeling of the Southwest.
