"In the style of expressive figuration, Betty LaDuke's work over the years in painting and printmaking speaks to universal issues...love, birth, growth, war...Her travels around the globe have brought a heightened awareness of the joys and concerns of Third World women, which has infused her work with a fresh urgency. A truly dedicated innovative artist, Betty LaDuke never fails to delight with the vigor of her compositions and the richness of her palette. And, moreover, her works never fail to move and inspire me anew to the need to struggle in defense of human rights."
