Her work was shown in nine exhibitions at the National Academy of Design from 1897 to 1906 as well as
from 1924 to 1933. A report of the Newport Annual Exhibition in 1915 records a visitor as saying,
"The picture I like best is this head by Mrs. Burgess, it's more natural and lifelike than any picture in
the whole show"
In 1899 Burgess joined the National Association of Women Artists and the Woman's Art Club of New York,
where she served as the organization's president from 1905 to 1910 and contributed to its financial growth
