I am an artist whose style is uniquely mine. My work has been called sophisticated by many with a universal appeal testified by my long list of exhibitions both nationally and abroad. Don Stacy at the People's Institute of the Museum of Modern Art compared my work to composing music.
"Stern might be more properly termed a lyrical expressionist for the poetic qualities that she brings to her work, along with those more formal attributes that make her a world class painter in anybody's book. She is a consummately sophisticated painter with a real sense of art history."
~ Michelle Ross, Gallery & Studio, 1999
