I was very, very flattered to find this in the recently published "Best of 2007" issue of the Kansas City weekly, the Pitch.
"Best Photography Show (2007)
Gloria Baker Feinstein
Leopold Gallery
Gloria Baker Feinstein's photographic disquisition of the orphans of Uganda toed a taut and righteous line between journalism and art. With a master's degree in photography and graphic design from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, this Kansas City-based artist has been in dozens of exhibitions. Her work's vivid nostalgia is never cloying or inappropriate, no matter her subject. At the Leopold Gallery last spring, her velvety photographs of orphaned children in Uganda revealed their dire circumstances and reminded us that everything is political — and that art and politics can collide in beautiful as well as polemic ways."
