Critical reviews
The Oak Park Journal noted that "Ms. Myntti's work is inspired by the daily experiences of life, including interpersonal relationships, family and marriage. She often uses vivid, expressive colors in her paintings."[16]
The Spokesman-Review described the vibrant, expressive colors and simplified forms in her paintings as being "reminiscent of the early 20th-century Fauve movement", and also quoted her to have acknowledged that her art professors at the University of Idaho always said she was never afraid to use color, she is attracted to discordant colors.[20]
Jan Ingram in the Anchorage Daily News of January 30, 1994 wrote "These paintings are experimental and fun".[17]
Two years later in the same newspaper Lianne Williamson wrote about her exhibited works at the Nordic Heritage Museum. "They tell stories of domesticity, relationships won and lost, feelings expressed and repressed, experience gained and given" [18]
Eric Swenson in the Anchorage Daily News wrote that "humor is one of Myntti's many strengths. Most artists are so serious. Without cartooning or being cute or charming, Laura manages to be very funny. Her humor is good natured and subtle, but there's also and edge there, that comes from her sincerity".[21]
