REVIEWS
Thomas W. Schaller, judge PleinAir - July, 2025
“A lyrical intersection of prose and poetry elevates this work. The solidity of an everyday urban scene is secondary to the overwhelmingly beautiful and ephemeral atmospherics. Brilliant editing, outstanding brushwork, intriguing composition, and a deeply affecting understanding of light, color, and the illusion of space and perspective make this painting simply brilliant.”
Michelle Dunaway, judge, Pleinair salon July 2024

Kelley Sanford and Kim Van Der Hoek, The Art Muse Contest
'The strengthen of JM’s drawing skills pulls you into the painting and yet she didn’t feel the need to draw in every single detail. We both appreciate the refined drawing of the horse and textural quality of the background. This piece combines representational and abstract aspects of painting in an effortless manner in addition to capturing beautiful light."
