Encampment features recent works by
Jane Parker at Drury Pool Art Center Gallery
Drury Pool Art Center Gallery, 940 N. Clay St., presents Encampment, a show of recent works by Jane Parker. Jane Parker's recent paintings and drawings, while not explicit in their meaning, refer in a general way to the lives and structures of North American indigenous people. Her graphic denial of pictorial space foreshadows a painterly encounter with life-ways subsequently targeted by relentless cultural vandalism over several centuries. Parker's imagery, most often implied, evokes and celebrates a gone era without specific depiction or narrative reference. Encampment is more homage than polemic and more idea than place. (417) 873-7263 www.drury.edu/pacgallery Open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. M, T, W, F; 8 a.m.-8 p.m.

Fresh Gallery proudly presents Painter Marylou
Legsdin, Ceramacist Angel Brame in October
Fresh Gallery, 400 W. Walnut, presents Featured Artists Marylou Legsdin and Angel Brame in October. Marylou Legsdin, a pastel and paint artist, focuses on favorite subjects including the creeks, rivers, hill and woodlands of the Ozarks. Her landscapes capture everything from the brilliant, reflective light of a sunny day to the somber shadows of evening's heavy sky. Sky paintings dominate Marylou's October show, a fascination that was influenced by her Cherokee grandfather, who could forecast the weather by the sky, its clouds and color. Working primarily in pastels and watercolors, Marylou also utilizes acrylics and colored pencil. Angel Brame is a ceramicist, but she got her start in art through painting. Working in porcelain with electric and gas-reduction firings, Angel produces functional pieces such as coffee mugs and dinnerware sets, as well as fine art "paintings" in clay that utilize slip texture, stamps and glaze combinations. Tactility is essential, and her goal is that the viewer be drawn to touch and examine her work from every angle, experiencing the textures and colors up close. www.freshgallery.org (417) 862-9300 Open 11 a.m.-6 p.m. T-Sat

Obelisk Home focuses on iPhone art
with iProcess: The Artwork of Crystal Moody
 Obelisk Home at the Inspired Commerce Building, 214 W. Phelps, presents iProcess: The Artwork of Crystal Moody in October. "My artwork begins with photographs taken with my iPhone. I then manipulate and layer those photos with many iPhone apps. The image is completely created on an iPhone. I then like to use more traditional art media in the presentation of my work, such as printing on watercolor paper or adding a wax layer, etc. I love design, photography and color but never really loved drawing. I've found collage to be perfect for my style, and I love to work on my iPhone, which is always with me and requires no clean up."-Crystal Moody (417) 616-6488 www.obeliskhome.com
