Besides one man shows, she has been an exhibiting member of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, the American Artists Professional League, the Atlanta Art Association, and the Phoenix Fine Arts Association. Her work has been included in invitational exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum, the Mississippi Art Association, and the Mellon Gallery. At Atlanta Art Museum her painting, Mary Lou, was chosen as a representative portrait and exhibited at the Museum and throughout the state of Georgia. 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.” Oil MARTHA HOLZER i Oil BENJAMIN 0.
