What the critics have said of her work:

“… has traveled to many countries over the years and has a finely developed understanding of different peoples and their cultures. She has combined this understanding with her technical knowledge in the digital and photographic media to produce an artistic interpretation of the images she witnesses around the world. By what is commonly referred to as the “eye” and her attention to perfection, the quality of TK’s work far surpasses much of what we see splashed throughout image banks today.”
CBH, August 2004.

“… brings a wonderfully sensitive and keen eye to the landscape and people… will become a vehicle to expose the essence of the human experience… This ability to reveal and communicate, while allowing the respect for the subject, draws the viewer in to see more, inviting us to glimpse at the soul and the character of those chosen by the photographer.”
John Deacon. 2004.

“… is very well-traveled and has met numerous people through her travels. Her work reflects this international perspective. Ms. Hernández is artistic and talented. Her insight and humility when it comes to artistic integrity is astounding. She has an extraordinary eye for detail and her passion shows in everything she does.”
C. Foon, 2004.

“Any endeavors she undertakes, she does so with not only the utmost of scholarly care but also with human care.”
Marcel Bak, 2004.

“Your visual images and poetry barely suggest your potential… clearly it is there. Clearly you have released what few others have… your gift will take you far as it already has… your place on the planet has yet to be discovered… it will be, I’m sure.”
T. Lakas, 2003.
