She lived here until moving to Boston, Massachusetts in 2012. [2]
Lundsager is known for her abstract landscapes completed primarily in oil paint. She also works with watercolor and sumi ink. Lundsager drips, pours, and splatters paint to create a balance of order among non-objective shapes. [3] Her oil paintings are highly impressionistic but capture the meteorological and topographical changes on a landscape. [4] Lundsager describes her watercolor paintings as "acts of 'hysterical ecstasy'". [5] Lundsager's work is highly influenced by painters Marsden Hartley, Charles Burchfield, and Odilon Redon. [6] Her work is evocative of Yayoi Kusama and her signature infinity nets. Lundsager secured her first solo exhibition at the Stephanie Theodore Gallery in Brooklyn, New York in 1993. [7] In 1995 Lundsager was shown in the Jack Tilton Gallery. [3] She received the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2001. [2] In 2005 Eva Lundsager was exhibited alongside Hans Hoffman in the Greenberg Van Doren gallery. She published a book of her watercolors, titled Ascendosphere, in 2009. [1] In 2013, Lundsager's work was exhibited alongside Anne Truitt's work, who was Lundsager's professor at University of Maryland at the Academy Art Museum located in Eatern Shore, Maryland, where Truitt lived. [8] In 2023, her work was exhibited at the Praise Shadows Gallery in Brookline, MA. [9] She currently serves as a part-time lecturer at Tufts University. [10]
Lundsager permanent collections in the following museums [10]
Helen Frankenthaler was an American abstract expressionist painter. She was a major contributor to the history of postwar American painting. Having exhibited her work for over six decades, she spanned several generations of abstract painters while continuing to produce vital and ever-changing new work. Frankenthaler began exhibiting her large-scale abstract expressionist paintings in contemporary museums and galleries in the early 1950s. She was included in the 1964 Post-Painterly Abstraction exhibition curated by Clement Greenberg that introduced a newer generation of abstract painting that came to be known as color field. Born in Manhattan, she was influenced by Greenberg, Hans Hofmann, and Jackson Pollock's paintings. Her work has been the subject of several retrospective exhibitions, including a 1989 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and been exhibited worldwide since the 1950s. In 2001, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts.

Dorothea Rockburne DFA is an abstract painter, drawing inspiration primarily from her deep interest in mathematics and astronomy.

Her attraction to Mannerism has also influenced her work.

JoAnne Carson is an American artist who is known for over-the-top, hybrid works in painting, sculpture and assemblage that freely mix fantasy, illusion and narrative, high and low cultural allusions, and seriocomic intent. She first gained widespread attention in the 1980s for what ARTnews critic Dan Cameron described as "extraordinary painted constructions—kaleidoscopic assemblages chock full of trompe-l’oeil painting, art-history quips, found objects and nostalgic echoes of early modernism." New York Times critic Roberta Smith wrote that Carson's subsequent work progressed methodically into three dimensions, culminating in freestanding botanical sculpture that exuded "giddy beauty" and "unapologetic decorativeness"; her later imaginary landscapes have been described as whimsical spectacles of "Disneyesque horror." Carson has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship, awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, American Academy in Rome and National Endowment for the Arts, and Yaddo artist residencies. Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA), Albright-Knox Gallery, New Orleans Museum of Art, and Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; it belongs to the public art collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, MCA Chicago, Frederick R.

Her work has been featured in the journals Artforum, Arts Magazine, New Art Examiner, and Zyzzyva, as well as the Chicago Tribune,The Irish Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and National Public Radio. Art writers frequently discuss the interplay in her work between abstraction, the evocation of otherworldly light, land and space, and a commitment to investigating meaning through a painting process akin to the processes of cultivation and excavation. Artforum critic James Yood wrote, "echoing the often inchoate quality of nature, her paint surges toward mystery and hints at a kind of chiaroscuro of the spirit"; curator Bonnie Laing-Malcomson suggests her "richly colored monumental paintings evoke the moody landscape of her rural Irish homeland, summoning the force of J. M. W. Turner and Mark Rothko." She has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts, a Contemporary Northwest Art Award, and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award (2013), among other awards. O'Toole lives in Seattle, Washington and is Professor of Art and Chair of the Painting and Drawing Program at the University of Washington.
