”Monika Teal's recent works have obtained a patina of time and authenticity. Because the paintings and concepts are not rushed, but slowly developed and worked over, they incorporate and pull in references to the history of art, its meanings and symbols. Her technical dexterity has brought to her paintings a level of complex and intrinsic work, which continues to be enriched by opportunities to work and study in various locations. Shifts in location and perception have melded themselves into Teal’s own mature and individual style." —Robert Godfrey, Painter and Critic
