John Neylon wrote of her work on six Vietnam veterans exhibited at praxis ARTSPACE Bowden: “Through the portrait’s craft there is a semblance of eyes looking at and through the viewer. At such close quarters it seems impossible that these men do not lock eyes with us. They could be on the other side of a one-way mirror lost in their own thoughts…. This kind of intense encounter is portrait painting’s equivalent of crossing the wire where a false brush mark or gratuitous detail can upset the balance of trust..”. John Neylon is an art writer, curator and artist.
