Excerpt:

Biala chose subject matter over brute expression. Her paintings derive the time-honored triumvirate of still-life, landscape, and portraiture, and yet she approached these themes through an uncommon significance defined through a painterliness of gesture and color in calculated rhythm. Critic Michael Brenson aptly described her as “a blend of intimacy and exile.”[i]
