  Don’t miss your last chance to view Gretchen Feldman: Love Letter to Earth (1934-2008) on the third floor of AVAM’s main building. This exhibition which opened in spring 2012 closes in June, and has been a favorite among the museum’s visitors.
  This luminous retrospective of 40+ vivid paintings exalt the exquisite, eternal themes of “Perfect Unions:” where land meets sea, day embraces night, sky kisses earth – opposites inherent to life’s sacred cycle of union and touch. Among Feldman’s bright, abstract works are vibrant, colorful landscapes and scenes depicting idyllic country life, contrasted with an artful examination of cancer cells which cut short the artist’s most loving and happy life.
  The American Visionary Art Museum is located at 800 Key Highway | Baltimore, Maryland 21230
