The New York Times' Critic Benjamin Genocchio wrote on March 5, 2009: "Among other outstanding photographs are Aimee Hertog's wickedly funny 'Hamptons Fun v. Iowa Flood,' in which the artist has digitally collaged imagery of people swimming in the Hamptons into flooded urban landscape scenes from Iowa. The juxtaposition is so incongruous and silly that you can't help but laugh." The article pertains to the show at City Without Walls in Newark in which the above-mentioned photo won Honorable Mention.

My work often explores current issues.  With the use of different mediums, I address the political scene as well as environmental and social concerns, My work has a sense of urgency and purpose.  However, I try not to take myself too seriously in creating my art and where appropriate use humor.  I also try to keep with with the timeless ideals of color, form and a sense of balance which I believe should be basic in art.
