“These paintings should be kitsch, or at least about kitsch. Yet they are not so easily dismissed, in part because their swooniness is so idiosyncratic. Even at a time when faux naivety has become codified as an art world mode, these glowing canvases are utterly distinctive” (Steven Stern cited in: ‘The Uses of Enchantment’, Frieze, 3 March 2004 online).
