Critiques:
American artist Kuhn delivers riveting portraits imbued with a radicalized vulnerability, at times violent strokes and colours, contrasted with a soft, soulful gaze." Louise Pharand, Toronto
"We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Donna Kuhn. Her paintings, collages, altered books and jewelry are really great. They combine the obsessiveness of an outsider with the composition and palette of a trained artist. Very art brut." Parker Lanier, High Lonesome Gallery, Texas
