Lush, seductive and slippery, Connie Noyes has been painting about detritus with detritus and the art transcends its materials. Mundane materials. Elegant surfaces. Dynamic relationships. Bigger issues than art for art sake. There is effort in the work to be a part of something larger than oneself, to reach out and use art as a tool, a vehicle for communication and innovation, a statement for augmenting ones consciousness. -Paul Klein, 2008
