"Electrified by a bold palette, her landscapes are infused with modernist structures that evoke the spirit of visionary architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Walter Gropius, and her buildings recall the romance the world once had with the ideals of modernism and its promises to transform everyday life. Her fantastical canvases and even their convoluted and whimsical titles tell beautiful stories about a world in which architectural gems can be experienced just by looking out your window or walking through any door."—Justin Conner, critic
