“Harvey builds luminous paintings with numerous strata of thin but vibrant pigment suspended in a transparent acrylic gel, effectively suggesting the fluidity of water. The viscous quality of gel seems to hold the acrylic painting in a state of never drying, and thus implies a state of flux or movement. She captures a great sense of depth in her paintings and is captivated by the disorienting effect of overlapping, translucent planes.” Sandra Fraser, Waterfall catalogue, MacLaren Art Centre, Barrie, Ontario, 2009.
