When speaking about her selection process Juror Donna Gustafson wrote, "While the decisions made were specific to each work, there are themes that run through the exhibition. These include images of the natural world, crowds, portraits, imaginary and real journeys, calls to justice, and abstraction compositions that range from expressionist to geometric. The wide range of interests and imagination make this show both unpredictable and remarkably full-bodied."

Previously she served as Chief Curator at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, Director of Exhibitions at the Hunterdon Art Museum, and Chief Curator at the American Federation of Arts in New York.
