    "Rather than utilizing found photographs as sources, Greenfield-Sanders uses photos she took herself, and while her earlier paintings were in oil, the new series is in acrylic. The risk, though, is not one of technique but rather of subject matter: The exhibition features landscapes dominated by flowers, both in cultivated gardens and blooming in the wild."

    - Bridget Quinn in "Isca Greenfield-Sanders: The Language of Flowers"

  • "Isca Greenfield-Sanders’s new body of work, exhibited in “The Language of Flowers,” draws on the same rigorous technique she has developed over decades: transforming photographs that she crops, enlarges, adjusts for color and light, translates into watercolor studies, then forges into finished square-format paintings. The paintings sometimes include figures, other times not, but they always retain some glimpse of the grid that formed them. Her new series of floral landscapes, though, while familiar, represents a distinct departure — one that is both beautiful and perilous."

    - Bridget Quinn in "Isca Greenfield-Sanders: The Language of Flowers"
