"Abstract painting is well-represented, and Kiyoko Sakai's acrylic on paper may be the best works in the show... they have absolutely amazing color." John Zeaman, The Record, NJ
"The paintings of Kiyoko Sakai convey a jewel-like sense of depth and inner fire." Eileen Watkins, Star Ledger, NJ
"One of the strongest pieces in the exhibit is a large untitled work by Kiyoko Sakai. Much like the Brazilian mother-of- pearl and turquoise butterfly lepidopterist Vladimir Nabokov mentions with such awe, the central panel suspended within a sphere is both luminous and spiritual. Sakai has a gift with lines and balance..." Elizabeth Robinson, The News, NJ
"The most striking piece in this impressive show is 'We are the Children of the Stars', a huge ( 111"x192") installation that fuses the cosmic and worldly. Through color choice and intensity of brush strokes, she succeeds in communicating a message on a metaphysical level." Angela Moore, Cover Magazine
