"...Perhaps her most imaginative pieces are dreamscapes inspired while listening to Parisian lounge music recorded at the Hotel Costas in Paris. Titled What Makes you Journey into the Night? and For your Pleasure I Created a Dream, the paintings reflect the 'anticipation of travel, the wish to be carried far away, to see exotic plants and landscapes, to be free to imagine" says Laddon... "

"...Nina Zak Laddon wisely takes a different tack, interpreting the garden in her own style. She intersperses black and white photos of the artist with his long gray beard in a collage of flowers, some apparently appropriated images, and her own daubs of transparent watercolor. The lights and darks are well worked out in the intricate crazy quilt pattern."
--Judy Herman,
Palos Verdes Peninsula News,

"...Of particular interest is Laddon's tribute to her Israeli homeland, titled Beloved Country. Laddon, who has dual citizenship, uses the omnipresent olive tree as a symbol of peace and hope...Her work is a collage-like dreamscape featuring peace doves, olive branches and Athena, the goddess who gave the Greeks the olive tree. Old styles of calligraphy in Arabic, Hebrew and Latin add symbolism, beauty and a literary subtext to the work."
