"Salzman's works are like clearings in a forest, into which viewers are encouraged to venture. ... Her manifestations of chromatic movement are like a composer's, as tempered passages of color and tonality cascade into resolution."

- Marc Awodey, Seven Days, Burlington VT, 2001

"Gail Salzman is exceedingly generous with her oils, transcending the two dimensions of canvas and paper, and this luxuriant layering adds to a primal sensuality."

- Pamela Polston, Art New England Boston MA, 1994

"The paintings are simply in motion, as if Salzman was seized with the whizzing truth of subatomic particles, the energy of life itself. "

- Pamela Polston, Vermont Times, Burlington VT, 1991
