Nancy Alexander, director of the Rehoboth Art League, described the artist in these terms: "Criss is an amazingly flexible artist. He's known for his wonderful portraits - and when I discovered his landscapes, I was surprised and delighted."<ref>[http://www.artbabyart.com/andrew_criss/index.html ArtBabyArt.com coverage]</ref>
