“Rue Asher understands the correspondence between abstract art and poetry. Words and paint are loaded with implication and gestation so powerful as to catapult you, the viewer or reader right into the depths of feeling or remembrance. Along with expert use of colour and tone, which alternates between vivid and tenacious to intensely subtle. Asher makes space in her paintings. This space allows the viewer to ponder, absorb, be taken in. Like a poem often returned to, new layers are discovered the more time you spend with them”    Kate Reeve-Edwards, Author & Art Writer
