Mining the territory between landscape and abstraction to create vivid, unreal worlds, Eva Lundsager intermingles pools of rich pigment, graphite marks and Sumi ink washes, to create gem-like works that suggest terrestrial emanations and evoke heightened psychological moments. This exhibition presents a career overview of her watercolor drawings from the last 22 years. Lundsager's works on paper and paintings have been exhibited nationally and internationally in solo exhibitions at the Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, New York; the Jack Tilton Gallery, New York; the Whanki Museum, Seoul; Galerie Von Lintel, Munich; and the Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, St. Louis, and are in the permanent collections of the St. Louis Art Museum and the Dallas Museum of Art. Her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America and ArtNews, and in 2001, she was recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in painting.

The three rooms of the History of Jazz Galleries are the setting for a fascinating exhibition of drums and other instruments from the Hartenberger World Music Collection, based in St. Louis. Dr. Aurelia Hartenberger, who has collected for over 35 years, has put together a collection of instruments featuring prestigious drums from Africa, historical civil war instruments and one-of-a-kind custom made modern jazz instruments – including some that were once owned by nationally recognized jazz musicians Clark Terry, Artie Shaw and others. Aurelia Hartenberger is adjunct Associate Professor of Music at the University of Missouri – St. Louis, Webster University and World Music Specialist at Maryville University. She is a 5-time recipient of the Teacher of the Year award at the local, district and state levels, and has served as president of several music education associations.

This exhibition pairs the work of two photographers who have each independently investigated the quality of light and its psychological implications in the moment that is the edge of darkness. New York artist Steve Giovinco renders the mysterious qualities of ambient light in the landscape, producing works that are both cinematic and literary. Giovinco's photographs have been exhibited nationally and internationally. His works are in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Brooklyn Museum of Art; and Yale University Museum of Art.

Tim Simmons' hauntingly beautiful, ethereal landscapes examine the multilayered relationship we have with our physical environment. Taken in natural settings and lit artificially, the landscapes he renders take on a surreal, otherworldly quality. Born in 1955 in London, England, Simmons has exhibited his work internationally. Installations and projections of his work have been shown in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Grand Rapids and Kaunas Lithuania. He lives and works in Norfolk, England.

The children of artists are surrounded by, and exposed to, art from the day they are born. Research shows that integrating art-making into daily life helps develop cognitive, fine motor, problem solving, and many other necessary life-skills. The children whose works are featured in this exhibition are in a unique position to be inspired by, and to inspire, the work of their parents. This exhibition features the work of over 16 young artists from the greater St. Louis area whose parents are actively engaged in the arts community.

In 2010, St. Louis-based photographer Patti Gabriel first traveled to Haiti to document the work of doctors and nurses at the Hôpital Sacré Coeur for the CRUDEM Foundation. Located in Milot in Northern Haiti, the hospital is run entirely by Haitian staff and is the exclusive health care provider to over 250,000 people in the impoverished region. In two subsequent visits in 2011 to Northern Haiti, which escaped the devastating earthquake in 2010, Gabriel has captured the dignity and resilience of the people, and the country's historic and remarkable beauty.

Gabriel has been creating environmental portraits for the past 30 years. She received a B.S. in Fashion Merchandising at the University of Missouri Columbia, where she studied fine art photography with the noted landscape photographer, Oliver Schuchard. Gabriel's photographs have been published in a variety of publications, local and national, and are found in corporate and private collections throughout the United States. Her most recent work has involved the documentation of human rights issues and journeys that involve the personal struggle of women and children in poverty.

Gallery Talk: Wednesday, April 25, Noon. Patti Gabriel will speak on her photographic experiences in Haiti, Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery, admission free.
