select review commentary
"Maroni's work is subtle, layered, complex. It also invites a slow, careful viewing to reveal its rich presence. Her approach brings to mind the words of the poet Seamus Heaney: ‘What matters is the shape-making impulse, the emergence and convergence of an excitement into a wholeness.’
- Deborah Barlow, Artist, Writer, Curator
“Rich palette! Abstract, yet narrative in a way, so that I as the viewer want to know more about what lies beyond the edges of the canvas”.
- Kristen Zeiser, Director, Clark Gallery, Lincoln, MA
“Tracey’s work is quiet, very subtle, but very powerful…” - Mim Brooks Fawcett, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Attleboro Arts Museum, MA
