"ABSTRACT PAINTINGS EVOKE URBAN EUROPE" By Robert Amos, Times Colonist November 3, 2012 "Abstract paintings have to grab you by painterly means. Ira Hoffecker's do...... ....You seem to be peering into deep realms of memory and imagination, whether or not you know what she was thinking about. Hoffecker and I spent a long time talking about things, but her paintings speak for themselves. Confident and decisive, they are both decorative and contemplative and can be assumed to refer to a number of things. For now, I'll leave it to you to see why so many people find them deeply satisfying...." Please read the entire article under "Articles Published".....
Coverstory of Victoria's FOCUS Magazine, November 2012 "Just as well-planned city spaces do, each viewing of Hoffecker’s paintings promises a new set of discoveries and conversations"..... Please see the whole article from Focus Magazine under "Articles Published"
...... "A fantastic colourist - her canvases glow with a mix of primary and pastel tones - Hoffecker already has an impressive career underway and shows in galleries as far as Edmonton and Toronto. Inspired by such modernists as Franz Kline and Robert Rauschenberg, Hoffecker manages the tricky feat of being both intellectual and playful via paintings that combine vivid colour fields with decorative patches and textures. For her latest showing at The Gallery at Mattick's Farm, Hoffecker will have about a dozen works in acrylic and resin whose sensuousness may make you yearn for a bowl of fruit salad". BOULEVARD MAGAZINE, May 2012, page 42
