The Valley Courier, July 2002 by Jessica Libero "The four artists that shine in the collection are Steven Jones, Deborah Quinn-Munson, Andrea Deane, and Thelma Raney. Of the four (Quinn) Munson is the only artist who has shown before, has a well known style, and is collectible. Deborah Quinn-Munson's work is less affordable than her counterparts but her talent clearly explains why. The photographic quality her work expresses is stunning. Munson uses pastel over watercolor, a technique that gives the images depth and texture."
Main Street News October, 2002 by Liz Gwillim "Deborah Quinn-Munson of is fearless when it comes to tinkering with her oeuvre. As her work matures, you are aware of subtle changes and experiments albeit within circumspect boundaries. Her landscapes have evolved into mysterious attitudes of light and color. Portraiture seemed to be something she'd left behind. But lo, here is the stunning "Sarah Katherine", a study in pastel and watercolor that takes the well-deserved honor for best work in pastel-the very word evoking a soft dust of muted color. This piece with the medium in Quinn-Munson's hand stands out across a crowded room."
The Harford Courant, March 2001 by Bill Daily "I love the look of The Inn at Chester, particularly all the art hanging on the walls. Of note are the paintings of Deborah Quinn-Munson, an artist who brings to her landscapes an intimacy and knowledge only a local can muster."
The Trumpeter, August 1999 by Roger Straub "(Deborah Quinn-Munson's) works make you want to be there, and there is no higher compliment than that, that I can give to this wonderful master artist."
"(Deborah's) palette ranges vastly from muted earthen tones to intense exciting color. Her subjects are very viewer friendly, and the paintings would proudly grace any home. Her techniques and handling of light and shadow throughout her work is consistently well done. The works look happy and upbeat, but provoke a sense of mystery to the onlooker.They are poetry in paint, and capture the viewer's imagination."
The Main Street News, August, 1999 by Cary Schuler Hull "Exhibitions at Charlie Farrow's Rose Farm Gallery in East Haddam are always a pleasure, because he chooses his exhibitions well and his barn displays art beautifully. The current exhibition of 40 pieces by Deborah Quinn-Munson of Chester is an even greater pleasure, because it is such a fine show- and features more work by Deb in one place than we've seen before."
The Pictorial Gazette, October, 1999 by Heide Erb "She sold her first painting when she was in high school for $55.00 and Deborah Quinn-Munson hasn't slowed down since then...Quinn-Munson's work now hangs in homes and galleries throughout the state. Her paintings seem to exude calmness and serenity, with shades of blue and green throughout." |
