Gladys Nilsson, Tilling, 1993, watercolor on paper.

“The real poet studies the world as it is: lovely, terrible, sensible, grotesque; and would ask for no other in its place. Humor is the final sign and seal of seriousness for it is a proof that reality is held in honor and in love.” -- Mark van Doren

Gladys Nilsson
Tilling, 1993, watercolor on paper.

“Most of what goes on in Nilsson’s art is a fantastic recording of what goes on in her life: Who am I today? Which of my roles as woman, artist, daughter, wife, mother, friend, or combination thereof shall I examine?”
--David Russsick
