“Daphne Confar's paintings are the progeny of an artist whose storytelling skills match her facility with a brush. Her portraits look like characters in a Garrison Keillor monologue: self-effacing, befuddled, and guarded people, sharply drawn with tender shining souls.”
—Kate McQuaid, Boston Globe

Daphne Confar‘s tender little portraits have the irresistible appeal of vintage snapshots, partly because of the diminutive scale and the softly faded hand colored look of her palette. But Confar’s subjects feel familiar mostly because she captures unguarded humanity as photographs do.

—Ann Wilson Lloyd, Art in America
