"When you view Heather Wilcoxon's paintings, its hard to put your finger on her influences. Philip Guston and Outsider Art come to mind. But the longer you look, you realize there really aren't any comparisons.

The work is pure Wilcoxon; no one else. Which is just about the highest compliment you can give an artist"
