Critics have written about Connie's drawings:"... an exhibit called
'Intimate Worlds'... is sheer delight. The artist, Constance Simon,
captures the element of light in a magnificent series of tiny paintings
which create a sense of intimacy and elevate the concept of 'small'
to new heights. From paper clips to jacks to wishbones to doilies to
buttons, she uses great perception of form and texture to make miniature
magic out of their images. You have to see this one to truly appreciate
it." "... her subjects are
rendered... to yield results that emanate a serene ambience... The relationship
between line/mark and brushstroke are at once expansive and concise.
Simon's genre is the still life, and her palette is circumscribed and
hushed, as light and shadow pace attention to form and subject. Deft
and assured, the drawings are composed to offer utmost clarity, while
the paintings shift and change... This progress keeps close to the artist's
eye for delicate yet tight rhythm and harmony so that the arc of the
art is seamless and assured in its explication..." "Coat hangers, wishbones,
paper-clips, and jacks - all are humble objects Simon elevates by the
meticulous care with which she portrays them. The precision with which
Simon draws is hard to fathom." "An artist who sees
beyond the physical appearance of objects and thus isn't just interested
in surface appearances is Constance Moore Simon" "Constance Simon's small,
exquisite drawings are... mysterious yet drawn with lapidary precision." "Of extraordinary beauty
and delicacy... are two small drawings by Constance Simon." "Constance Moore Simon...
makes elegant pencil drawings notable for their dazzling technical polish." Constance Moore Simon...
is one of the most lyrical and delicate draftsman I have had the pleasure
of seeing... Durer-like in the exquisite feeling and sensitivity she
imparts to a prosaic subject... superbly tonal and absolutely magestic."
