"...Trial by Fire
is probably the most interesting piece.
Against a coppery background, small twigs
bar the small window and form a prison
cell as the nub of a burnt candle drips
wax down the face of the work. I'm always
happy to see some good paeans to Joan of
Arc."
Rebecca Schoenkopf,
The O.C. Weekly.
"Trial
by Fire is as grim as a life
sentence in a forgotten dungeon. Colored
the brown of rain-soaked rock, the
painting encloses an extinguished candle
behind a rusted fence. Little drips of
wax dribble from the cell, lending an
element of pathos to this metaphor for
resignation."
Lisa Buck, The
Downtown Gazette.
