“Review: Political Posters at Walker’s Point”
ArtCity, May 13, 2011
Excerpt: “Our state has been the center of much political attention in recent months. For those who’ve been especially passionate about recent events — signing petitions and toting signs — a highly political show at the Walker’s Point Center for the Arts may be of interest.”
“Review: Janet McKenzie at the Haggerty Museum of Art”
ArtCity, Dec. 8, 2010
Excerpt: “The paintings are marvelously executed, with heavy, life-sized figures who stare back with authoritative, dignified expressions. The painting style is very smooth, with almost-cubist approaches to form that make the bodies and their Biblically-inspired draperies appear sculptural and substantial.”

Feature Article: Art for the Home
Milwaukee Home & Fine Living, August 2010
Excerpt: “With the walls painted in summer-sweet colors and fabrics chosen for their bold cheerfulness, the Wilson home is alive with shapes and colors that seem to literally spill out of their artworks.”
Gallery Feature: Artist Jane Barnard
Milwaukee Home & Fine Living, July 2010
Excerpt: “Jane Barnard is a Wisconsin-born artist whose expressionist watercolors celebrate the beauty of the Midwestern landscape. Yet they do not read purely as landscapes; her brushstrokes, like those of East Asian calligraphers, reveal themselves individually to create abstract arrangements of color that are more about beauty than realism.”
Gallery Feature: Artist Frank Juarez
Milwaukee Home & Fine Living, June 2010
Excerpt: “In many of Frank Juarez’s compositions, there are two paintings to look at: the one on the surface, and the one beneath. In fact, he does often paint using this method, creating one base composition and then slowly adding veils of color until a new vision is achieved.”
