“The StarNews has named ‘Amplify – Mezza9 Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture, Kinetics and More’ at WHQR’s MC Erny Gallery one of its top 10 art exhibitions of 2011. Justin Lacy’s retrospective had this to say:
With receptions that featured electronic music and stilt-dancing flash mobs, Mezza9 used all her resources to transport gallery-goers to Nebulon, the zero-gravity world within her multi-paneled s’fumato paintings where strawberries, jellyfish and skymaids all float with underwater grace through surreal skyscapes.”

Stilt walkers Mezzanine Beecomb and Joel Dream during the Photo shoot for Bodypaint: Into the Wilderness. Sea creature and tree spirit stilt walker costumes and headdresses by Mezza9.
“I’m hoping that these creatures on stilts will bring some of the characters in my paintings to life.
I crave a sensual or theatrical exploration of the Wilderness, that vast frontier of our minds.”

“Mysterious creatures of the Wilderness. One hazmat bicyclist circled these giant oddities on stilts with his retro marine light which created shadow play on the wall. A dancer swathed in gauze fabric writhed to life at the center of the gallery space. This intriguing exhibit brought the mystery of traveling to the wilderness of the mind to life. The paintings in the exhibit were works with jellyfish and flying figures all in an energy exchange that spoke to the feelings of nouveau cirque and to the oneness of the universe.” - Mezza9
