"...her work has become some of Australia’s most coveted. At once confronting, thought-provoking and unabashedly voyeuristic, her works flirt between the genres of pop, punk, erotica and just a hint of manga."
– Map, Australia, 2011
"Her work... is filled with strong sexual and political imagery in which she is regularly the subject. It has been the cause of much controversy, and her outspoken persona and direct involvement often blur the line between artist and art."
– Stated, USA, 2011
"Her work is über-stylised, raunchy, powerful... the sort of girl who'll whip off her bra and headbutt you at the same time."
– ABC Radio, Australia, 2011
"Hazel personifies an alluring, punk rock, mischievous, genius artist... She is the outsider that everyone wants to be connected with."
– Obvious, USA, 2011
"Hazel Dooney grabs life by the shoulders and headbutts it... She is utterly uncompromising."
– The Age, Australia, 2010
