"Williamson has used discipline as a framework for discovery. By restricting her palette and format, she is free to try combinations of techniques and design until she feels she has exhausted the possibilities for artists growth."
Catherine Weller, Jeanne Williamson and Katherine Porter , Fiberarts Magazine, November/December 2006

"... in her internationally exhibited Orange Construction Fence Series, Williamson combines printmaking, painting, and quilting to create abstract stitched monoprints - single prints on sewn fabric - that upend conventional notions of this most traditional American craft."

"Jeanne Williamson's abstract-expressionistic Orange Construction Fence Series #29 is one of the most esthetically mature pieces. Because of its use of space, shape, color and line, jurors named it best of show."

"While Jeanne Williamson's work grows out of traditional craft, this Natick artist is most interested in contemporary abstraction. She might produce quilts which are 100% cotton, machine appliqued and quilted, but they are also monoprinted and handstamped, a collage which exploits fabric for its ability to provide a kind of high texture or bas-relief. Her Construction Fence Series asks the viewer to make sense of a repeating grid, interspersed with the insistent shape of twisting vine and the spiky grass, which pokes through the fence at a building site. The result is art for the serious collector, as visually challenging as any painting on the market."
