From The Stranger (October 24, 2002): "The images are natural, at times just a dab impressionisticespecially where sky is concernedand as a group they acknowledge the various ways a viewer can see a landscape or its image. Some of them recall the kind of photographic lens that restores the curve to the Earth, a kind of camera obscura image that also has elements of time-lapse photography. DEVUONO'S aim doesn't seem to be to make you comfortable in this setting but to tug at the idea of seeing, here by adding single words to most of her paintings.
"DEVUONO'S current show also includes a cluster of smaller works painted on wooden boxes, so that they substantially stand out from the wall, becoming, in essence, chunks of land and sky. A pair of them ... seem carved right out of a lawn."
