  • “Undeniably steeped in figuration, she surpasses the possibilities of Modernist painting by [Milton] Avery, Barnett Newman, and [Mark] Rothko. Surprising changes in scale complicate a simple story or linear reading. Moreover, ghosts of painted-over figures (or pentimenti) as well as abandoned ideas come in and out of focus on the nuanced surfaces, encouraging viewers to excavate each one with their eyes.”
    —Jaime DeSimone
