jane Watson, editor of the American Federation of Arts magazine and art critic for 7'he Washington Post, wrote: “Her work, which is highly conservative, reflects a background of art experience and sound training.”
. . . Her works “are painted with sure technique and forthright simplicity. They have vitality and character.” Of a still life: “Miss Dodge has carried out her scheme with boldness and dexterity and the result is a flower painting of distinction.”
The Arizona Republic (Phoenix) art critic, Anson B. Cutts, wrote: “Mrs. Kimbrough is by no means a portraitist exclusively. Her oil still-lifes are on a par with her portraits and there are several excellent examples in this exhibition.” Of her drawings:	.	.	contempla-
tive likeness, beautifully drawn ... a loose yet definitive style.”
