Greg Morell, "Experiment Transforms Downtown Amherst," THE RECORDER, June 3, 2004, p.12.
Excerpt of article discussing MG's paintings:
Two New York painters, Gordon Green and a young woman with
the simple moniker of MG served the event with distinction. MG presented
large tableaus fusing the anatomical elements of muscle and bone
into matrices of abstract compositions. Compelling juxtapositions
of battling linear forms pressurized in tight geologic strata commanded
the scene, highlighted with the sparse use of flashes of color.
A Simon’s Rock graduate, MG now lives in Brooklyn, but has
an Amherst connection through her life partner. Smaller pieces featured
bright fields of color interrupted by a single suspension of one
her organic forms hanging like a jewel in a combustion of raging
hue. Two of her smaller pieces sold, but she was able to defray
her accommodation expenses by staying with friends. Overall, M was
pleased with the event and the exposure it offered. She feels that
the event is “on the right track, good for Amherst and sure
to benefit from word of mouth outreach.”
