“Oral History Interview with April Gornik, conducted by Robert Enright, 2 - 3 June 2008,” Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, 1990, p. 44

"Is April Gornik the J.M.W. Turner of contemporary American painting? Perhaps. Continuing but modifying in an original way the landscape tradition inherited from Dutch 17th-century artists, Ms. Gornik creates landscapes with dramatic atmospheric moments -- dark swelling clouds, lightning, rain squalls or a setting sun. Her message is one of deep awe and reverence for nature."
