She often uses vivid, expressive colors in her paintings."[3] The Spokesman-Review described the colors and simplified forms in her paintings as being "reminiscent of the early 20th-century Fauve movement".[6] Jan Ingram in the Anchorage Daily News of January 30, 1994 wrote "These paintings are experimental and fun".[4] Two years later in the same newspaper Lianne Williamson wrote about her exhibited works at the Nordic Heritage Museum.[5] Eric Swenson in the Anchorage Daily News wrote that "humor is one of Myntti's many strengths.[1]
