Reviews
- Jim Welke, "“Gilded” and “It’s All Relative” at Whitdel Arts", artifizz, February 24, 2014. "A photograph by Alonso Del Arte (a curator of this show), offers an image of Ms. Snowden mirroring an image painted by Delvona Rabione in a series titled Faces of Detroit. With the print pinned to a sheet of aluminum that cries bulletproof, Ms. Snowden gazes back with a radiant visage."
