"Mary Hrbacek finds her muse in tree forms, most often gnarly, rugged ones that seem ages old and wise. Her approach is to render them almost in silhouette, leaving small touches of subtle light and line to bring out the twists and turns in the form. With this comes a personification, a liveliness of the subject that defies the two-dimensionality of the media. Even in the areas of paper left untouched, Hrbacek--whose "At It" can be viewed in 'Drawings,' reaches great aesthetic strength and magic."            ddlombardi
