She is a member of an extended family of eminent artists: her husband, Paresh Maity; uncle Sakti Burman who lives and works in France,[3] though he is considered an Indian artist; and her cousin, Maya Burman. In 2005, she helped create an exhibition called "The Family" featuring work of all these artists. ^{[citation needed]}

Burman works mainly in watercolor, using rich strong hues and bold themes with a mythic element—strange hybrid animals with human heads, female figures. She has won several prizes for her works. Her work has been exhibited in India, and overseas. ^{[citation needed]}
