“I believe that your paintings bear a critical message about the psychic state of American society as embodied in families. Your soulful work has a great lineage: Andrew Wyeth’s secrets, Edward Hopper’s loneliness, Grandma Moses’ villages, Bill Traylor’s humility, and Robert Frost’s winters. It is also feminist work, right out of Betty Friedan: hidden mothers drowning. The work is very psychological, and healing. The healing that happens when wounds are exposed to oxygen.” From Ernesto Pugol, interdisciplinary artist and author, August 2026.
