“Ponce de Leon’s pieces are searches for origins. Layered “collages” that use mixed mediums from pencil, charcoal, pastels, oil paint, ink and photographs create the illusion of a dreamy mysterious revelation. Her early studies of biology in college seem to have come together with her newfound fascination with human reproduction, as her newest series is a journey from conception to birth. Some of the images are hyper-realistic, paying great attention to anatomy and detail. Others seem to be half-conscious images from a dream, like ancient legends trying to wake up and share a message but unable to speak our language.”

-Shawn Olson, Messenger, 2002
