Quotes
"Betty LaDuke is an artist who, perhaps more than any other painter, has succeeded in assimilating the myths, idioms, iconography and metaphors of other cultures holistically into her works. She has done so in a manner and style that integrates the acquired, cultural artifacts with her own feminine, ecological and spiritual views."
--Frank Cebulski, Artweek, June 2000
