“Her painting, although highly personal, can be seen as being impacted by Davis Funk, a German Expressionist communication of emotion and the glorious lush colors of the subtropical world of Florida and Hawaii … There is nothing pretty about her people, but there is an appealing sensuous quality to her colors and her paint … Much of the time as we look at Kidd’s work, we really do not know what is going on, but when we take the time to examine it carefully, we may ask what is happening to us and our lives and relationships.”
