SUMMARY:2026 Solo Spotlight Series - Erin Blumer - Light\, Water\, & Care
DESCRIPTION:Erin Blumer – Light\, Water\, & Care: St. Louis Flora in Watercolor for Barnes-Jewish HospitalOpening Reception Friday\, October 9\, 2026\, from 6:00 to 8:00 \nOn Display October 8\, 2026 – January 9\, 2027 \nWhen Barnes-Jewish Hospital commissioned watercolor paintings for the patient rooms of its new Plaza West Tower\, they turned to St. Louis artist Erin Blumer. The brief: create original works rooted in the botanical life of the city\, one set of paintings for each of the tower’s 12 patient floors\, each floor representing a different garden or natural area. Blumer spent a year visiting Forest Park\, the Missouri Botanical Garden\, and Shaw Nature Reserve\, observing plants through their peak seasons and translating what she found into 34 original watercolors. Those paintings now live\, as large-format reproductions\, on the walls of patient rooms throughout the tower. \nThis exhibition brings the original works together\, alongside 12 new paintings created specifically for this show. The full collection spans prairies\, woodland gardens\, iris beds\, and native shade plantings\, all rendered in Blumer’s characteristic style\, where careful observation and abstract qualities of light\, texture\, and color work together. If you’ve been a patient at Plaza West Tower\, you may recognize some of these paintings. If you haven’t\, this is a rare chance to see the originals up close.

SUMMARY:Forgotten: North St. Louis Homes One Year Later by Sandy Haynes
DESCRIPTION:On display from September 23\, 2026\, through October 17\, 2026 \nThis exhibit is free and open to the public. \nIn May 2025\, a devastating tornado tore through North St. Louis\, damaging homes\, neighborhoods\, and landmarks across the city. In the days that followed\, Heartland Art Club founding member Sandy Haynes began documenting what remained—not with a camera alone\, but through paint. \nForgotten: North St. Louis Homes One Year Later brings together approximately fourteen works from Haynes’ ongoing series inspired by the tornado and its aftermath. Her paintings depict damaged and partially destroyed homes with an artist’s sensitivity to architecture\, place\, light\, and memory. Buildings that might otherwise be seen only as evidence of destruction become portraits of the lives and communities they once sheltered. \nA longtime painter and educator\, Haynes has spent decades creating portraits\, landscapes\, florals\, and architectural subjects. In this deeply personal body of work\, she turns her attention to a city changed by disaster\, preserving a visual record of places that may eventually be repaired\, transformed\, or lost altogether. \nThe exhibition follows recent recognition of Haynes and the series in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and offers visitors an opportunity to experience this important body of work together at Heartland Art Club.

SUMMARY:2026 Spotlight Series - Reverie in Tonalism
DESCRIPTION:2026 Spotlight SeriesReverie in Tonalism\nTracey Maras & Harry Starr On display July 11\, 2026 through October 3\, 2026 \nOpening Reception July 11\, 2026\, 3:00  – 5:00 pm \nPoetic\, tranquil\, restful\, harmonious\, peaceful\, reverie\, dreamlike\, enchanting\, mysterious\, romantic\, and a sense of metamorphosis. All words to describe Tonalism. \nTonalism is a uniquely American art movement. A movement characterized by harmonious colors\, introspective moods\, and a romantic appreciation for nature. Tonalism originated as the cousin to Europe’s Impressionism\, but in a more subdued and reverent mood. It has become the cornerstone of American landscape painting. \nHarry Starr and Tracey Maras embrace the aesthetics of Tonalism in their work. \nStarr creates a sense of metamorphosis in each of his photographs. Whether landscape or still life\, his pieces evoke mystery\, enchantment\, and elegance. \nMaras conveys an atmosphere of serenity and peaceful tranquility in her pastel paintings. Regardless of subject matter\, there is a connectedness to nature. \nStarr and Maras may utilize different mediums of artistic expression. However\, their work shares a respect and reverence for nature. Themes that weave themselves throughout Tonalism.

SUMMARY:2026 Henryk Ptasiewicz Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a celebration of the artist\, Henryk Ptasiewicz and his masterful and colorful art. \nReception: Friday\, May 8\, 2026\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm AND Saturday\, May 9\, 2026\, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm \nOn Display from May 6\, 2026\, through June 6\, 2026 \nHenryk PtasiewiczHenryk Leon Ptasiewicz (1955–2025) was a British-born artist whose work and presence left a lasting impact on the St. Louis art community. Born in Scunthorpe\, Lincolnshire\, England\, he was the only child of Gladys Dent Ptasiewicz and Henryk Leon Ptasiewicz\, a decorated World War II navigator with the Polish RAF. He studied technical illustration at Kelsterton College in North Wales and earned a BA in Graphic Design from St. Martin’s School of Art in London in 1978. \nIn England\, Henryk built a wide-ranging creative career as a painter\, illustrator\, designer\, and sculptor. He spent years designing and constructing fiberglass works\, from playground structures to full-scale dinosaurs\, and later worked as a special effects designer and book illustrator. During this time\, his friendship with figurative painter Robert Lenkiewicz helped shape his commitment to painting from life and to telling meaningful human stories through art. \nHenryk moved to St. Louis in 1999 and quickly became an integral part of its arts community. He launched his “Hire Your Own Picasso” practice\, painting commissions and teaching\, and became active with the St. Louis Art Guild\, where he regularly painted alongside fellow artists. A master colorist known for bold\, expressive brushwork\, he was devoted to painting from life\, capturing people and their stories with energy and compassion. He was also a founding member of the Missouri Plein Air Painters and an award-winning participant in regional plein air events\, including an invitation to the Door County Plein Air Festival in 2017. \nDeeply engaged in the community\, Henryk contributed to major public projects\, including painted fiberglass cake sculptures for St. Louis’ 250th anniversary\, and maintained an active live drawing practice at events\, fundraisers\, and gatherings across the region. Widely respected by fellow artists\, he was known for his generosity\, always willing to share his knowledge or paint alongside others. Henryk lived fully as an artist until his passing on October 22\, 2025\, after a day spent working in his studio at the Fine Arts Building in Soulard. He is remembered not only for his remarkable body of work\, but for the community he helped build and the lives he touched through his art.
