Alain Gavin Adjunct Professor, Art Institute of Chicago
"Maureen Lighthall is a daredevil of an artist fearlessly jumping into new experimentations, projects, and media.  Like a Jackson Pollock, the emotional power of her turbulent painting is tempered by her bravura with order and harmony.  Ideas and emotions are not spelled out on the surface.  They rise and move you as you spend time absorbing the image. Here, American Expressionism is still viable.  This publication is a necessary record of a very fine artist."

Marilyn Klawiter, Collector

Maureen Lighthall's paintings are filled with life and energy.  When I first saw her paintings many years ago, their strong sense of motion immediately drew me in.  That holds true even as, with joy and appreciation, I view her work each day on the walls of my home.  The colors are rich and vibrant with that life, energy and movement that make her paintings distinctively her own.
