“The artist reveals herself, once again, as more than an unfailing eye and a confident hand, as someone who does more than just hit the composition, the color, and the brushwork exactly right every time. She reveals herself as sage. The paintings say, over and over, “Yes, everything is always sliding away from us; but look at what that is really like. It’s not just a place we can live; it is where we will find our most intense joy.”
