During her early career Burrage traveled extensively in Europe,[5] and also visited the Armory Show.[2] She returned to the United States at the outbreak of World War I, moving to Kennebunkport with her sister Madeline, known as "Bob", in 1917, and remaining there until 1947, when they moved to Wiscasset.[5] Her style continued to develop during this time, shifting from the Impressionism of her youth to an abstraction informed by the work of Jackson Pollock; later in life she created collages from mica.[6] Some of her work is influenced by cartography.[7] Active as a preservationist as well as an artist, she served as a director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation,[5] and in 1954 helped to found the Lincoln County Historical Association.[8] She was also involved in the founding of the Maine Art Gallery.[5] Upon her death Burrage was buried with Madeline, who predeceased her, at Evergreen Cemetery in Portland.
Burrage exhibited widely across the United States during her career, both alone and in group exhibitions, and her work is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.[3] Her papers are held in the Maine Women Writers Collection of the University of New England.[9] Among her accolades was the Deborah Morton Award from Westbrook College.[4]
