[7] Animals were also a recurring theme in the prints she produced as were cloud formations. Her prints often featured towering banks of cumulus clouds above an English landscape. [3] Burroughes also illustrated books by other writers, notably The Story of the Red Deer which was published by Gregynog Press in 1936 and for which she produced eleven colour prints. [7]
Throughout the 1920s Burroughes lived with her partner Vere Hutchinson, an author who had five books published but died in 1931 after a protracted illness.
