From nytheatre.com:

Julia May Jonas's company Nellie Tinder stages scenes in "For Artists Only" that have a sort of filmic quality. Or perhaps more accurately, they invoke a perspective of watching people interact through a window. Her piece is staged in a narrow area along the upstage wall. The scenes move quickly, each tightly framed by moving black curtains. It's a wonderfully unique device that arouses our voyeuristic impulses. What we're peeking at are two roommates in a small apartment struggling to cope with each other's idiosyncrasies. They walk in and out of frame (just like those people across the street from me). It's a tense piece; the two women always seem to be on the verge of an explosive fight. And when things got bloody, I was looking for my binoculars.

"Incredibly engaging and dry sense of humor," "Julia May Jonas belongs on stage", "ludicrous and larger-than-life", "Her sense of fun and mischief ... is wonderfully alive" - www.nytheatre.com
