"A willingness to enter and inhabit the infinite possibilities of an inner world with seemingly naive abandon distinguishes Eldridge's vision. In reality, Eldridge is an expert guide to imaginary realms because she possesses in spades what Keats referred to as "negative capability", defined as the capacity to exist comfortably in the presence of the unknowable. As a result her work has a freedom and spontaneity that is infectious, fantastic, and without formula.Her generous willingness to bring the viewer along, to allow us to wander into the eternal mystery with her, is the greatest strength of her art."Jon CarverArt writer - New Mexico
