Institutional Recognition
“Robbi Firestone's Existential Snacks project is a brilliant contemporary extension of the longstanding tradition of Satirical Artworks. Innovative in her use of materials, Firestone's paintings/sculptures reveal a sense of humor, are clever and reveal a substantial insight into her subject matter which makes this series so successful.”
Louis Grachos, Executive Director, SITE Santa Fe
“You are telling a powerful story…this project may take on a life of its own and take years to unfold.”
Merry Scully, Head of Curatorial Affairs & Curator of Contemporary Art, New Mexico Museum of Art
“A testament to the power of transforming personal pain into a benefit for the greater good.”
Eva Borins, President, New Mexico Chapter, National Museum of Women in the Arts
“You were the heart of the day…the show is beautifully hung, and I love the work and the stories it tells.”
Lynette Jennings, Co-Chair, New Mexico Chapter, National Museum of Women in the Arts
