In her “Eclectic” show at City Gallery
By Brian Slattery, New Haven Independent (May 2026)
“It's just 20 small boxes in a grid on the wall, but there the uniformity ends. The range of colors, shapes, and moods suggest that the format of a little square is a trap the artist, Amy Arledge, already knows she can escape from, over and over, before she even begins the painting. So one vibrates with overlapping shapes like a quilt.”
