"I approach art as a form of experimentation and ritual, seeing the cosmic in the microcosmic, and seeing the artist as part of both worlds..." -- Mitzi Humphrey, 1997

"The artist's words [above] provide an instructive point of entry into this four-decade survey of Mitzi Humphrey's prints and related works. In reviewing the results of her creative investigations from 1955 through 1999, it is fascinating to note the persistent recurrence of certain formal strategies and thematic interests. Traveling through the exhibition with an attentive eye, one becomes aware of similarities that are sometimes masked by differences in style and format. Ideas and images appear, fade, and are resurrected in altered versions; new contexts providing fresh meanings. Demonstrating an evolving sophistication and complexity, refinements of intention and execution, the art reveals a mind engaged in the serious play of disciplined studio practice and a heart open to the suggestions of intuition and the adventure of life experience. . . .

". . . Albert Einstein states 'The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.' Aspiring to find 'the universal in the specific and the ordered in the apparently chaotic' through the making of her art, Mitzi Humphrey acknowledges the allure of the unknowable and the potency of that fundamental emotion. In a variety of visual persuasions, from sculptural books to printed constructions, at wall scale or in miniature, she reminds us of the rewards of paying attention, and in so doing celebrates our capacity for wonder." -- Barbara Tisserat, 1999
