"Another standout was a series of paintings by Texas-born artist Sara Carter... In a kind of updated 1970s palette of avocados, burnt oranges, lemon yellows, denim blues, and sketchy blacks, her overlapping geometric grids created a sense of peering through the curtains of some desert motel with one's eyes half closed."
Quinn Latimer, ARTINFO, June 12, 2009

"It helps to consider her work in contrast to that of a freewheeling abstractionist such as Ed Moses, who even at his wildest has the grid in mind, and that of, say, Ad Reinhardt (1913-1967), who for a decade played subtle black-on-black variations on a rigid cross."

"... Carter applies clear acrylic varnish between bright and dark hues, so that the uppermost layers of charcoal brown dry thin and improbably translucent."
Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle, May 31, 2003

"Conforming her wide brush strokes to a loose grid on square canvases, Carter layers acrylic, generally from light to dark, in paintings that seem to have radiant cores... The deep-centered grids of Ed Moses may come to mind, as may the psychologically charged contrast of dark foreground and bright distance in some of Edward Hopper's work."
