Klitgaard defied easy characterization for membership to a specific art school or movement. Best defined as a U.S. modernist, she worked in both oil and watercolors but never abandoned figurative painting. She made her reputation in landscape but also excelled in portraits, flower studies, and even cityscapes. Her paintings have captured attention for their unsteadiness between twentieth-century realism and expressionism, as seen in Buttermilk Bay, Cape Cod.
