Charlottesville Arts and Entertainment magazine stated: "Sarah Parks demonstrates her skillful talent to blend Impressionist elements with the Classical Realist tradition.  She brings a contemporary sensibility to classical compositions and subjects.  Parks’ polished brush strokes are softened by her natural palette. Her magnificent attention not only to detail but to surface texture is evident in her figure paintings…her figures are shaped by the accurate use of light and shadow."
