“Lacking any of the all-consuming and very understandable pessimism that accompanies adulthood, Cooper’s work prizes childlike wonderment above pointed criticism of culture or snarky in-jokes for adults. The viewer gets a respite from the world and its problems.”
-David Bernabo, The Glassblock, 2018


“Felicia Cooper …has emerged as someone to keep an eye on.”
-Minneapolis Star Tribune, 2025

"Her wink is a deadly weapon."

-Audience Review, 2025
