"Betsy Stewart connects us to the natural world by detailing intricate floating microcosms in pond life that may not be visible to the naked eye or even under a microscope. In her "Fontis" (source) paintings the continual flux and change in the natural order of molecular clusters constantly reform life systems. Stewart lays bare the astonishing intricacies and seeming disorder of nature for us to marvel at and decipher layer by layer. The deliberate geometric configuration and precision grounding the sides of her square boxes contrast deliberately with the perpetual motion of the amoebas and other organisms. Her work is a metaphor for and a reminder of our place in the cosmos." Vivienne Lassman, Independent Curator, Washington, D.C.

Review excerpt, Art News, March 2005: "Stewart's acrylic and sumi-ink works depicting pond life, were full of tiny bubbles, protozoa, translucent algae, and frog spawn. The artist paints on wooden boxes, some of which, like "Aquatilis" (2004) have Mondrianesque lines representing DNA codes running up their sides." Arlene McKani
