站在棉花的画作前，扑面而来的色彩气势压倒一切，那些跃动的色彩能让你感觉到艺术家挥动笔触时的激情，看她的作品，会让人下意识的想到梵高：奔放的笔触，丰富饱满的情感，印象派斑斓的色彩、颠覆前人的构图、以及无穷的意境暇想。可以这么说，棉花的作品既有女性画家特有温柔灵性的挥洒，又不乏作为一个艺术家狂风暴雨般的灵感宣泄，吸引了沪上众多艺术爱好者、收藏家的目光。
在文坛多年的棉花进入画坛的时间并不长，但是在短短的时间内，就在艺术的领域里焕发出令人惊艳的光芒：一连串的成功，令本次画展尤其值得期待，正如沪上知名艺术评论家林明杰所说，“看厌了训练有素却没有个性的画，看到棉花的画，就好像和没有城府的孩子在交心。绚烂的色彩，野逸稚拙的笔触，交织出火山爆发般的强烈氛围。这画，仿佛是游子与离散多年的母亲重逢时相拥的痛哭，仿佛是痴情女子在爱人怀抱里的呢喃，仿佛是卖火柴的小女孩的梦境……”；而美国艺术家Grier Horner 的评价则更加一语中的：“棉花的作品里有一种无法模仿的原始、真实、质朴的情感内涵，正是她作品中的这一特质，将我深深吸引。所谓艺术之魅，正在于此……”。棉花的画是抽象的，但是却不晦涩难懂，因为是内心情感的色彩呈现；她的画是质朴的，但是却并不失之于粗疏简陋，因为多年的文字工作令她精于提炼与取舍；她的画明心见性，自然风流，但是却并不因此而浮于表面，因为这是她丰富人生经历的凝华……
2008年，她的油画作品被一家著名的韩国画廊看中并达成长期合作，随即她的作品就在第七届KIAF韩国国际艺术博览会上展出，得到热烈的市场拥戴；紧接着在今年的艺博会上，她受一家法国画廊的邀请参展，在国内首次亮相就获得了极大的成功，得到了众多国内外专业人士的肯定和由衷欣赏。艺博会结束后，不但有著名的经纪人找到她，同时，澳大利亚悉尼也向她伸出了橄榄枝，邀请她去进行艺术交流和展示；2010年，她还受邀于6月份再度跨出国门远赴法国参加艺术博览盛会。
本次展览将持续到12月6日，共展出棉花近百幅油画作品和一组纸上作品，同时，还有一组画在葫芦上的油画，让你领略不同的艺术之美，感受一个真实绚丽的艺术世界。
