"Dance is the word that immediately comes to mind while one is enjoying
Vivian Bedoya’s photographs. In her “Fluid Motion,” which was recognized
for its merit, jewel-tone colors float and swim over and through each
other like veils on darkness. In her black and white image,
“Palindrome,” transparent tube shapes are woven together back and forth
with ribbons of liquid smoke." ~ Janet Purcell/Times of Trenton
