"If you've ever seen Cruz's work, you'll know it's hard to ignore. She is one of Portland's reigning masters of color and pattern. Adriene's creations remind one of the complexities of jazz. Her work resonates with intuitive spontaneity that blends nurturing with life's experience insightfully, while challenging the eye, mind and heart to discover new meanings and relationships."
