Evergreen Woods invites you to enjoy a gallery exhibition featuring the talents of our community residents. Among them, Gusta Abels (who recently passed away), served as our resident art teacher, assisting and counseling her peers in shape, color, and composition. Gusta began studying drawing and painting at age 12 at the Art Students’ League in New York City. She majored in Art History at Barnard College and received her Masters degree in art from Columbia University. After graduation, she was awarded the Fulbright Scholarship to study painting in Belgium. For years, she taught a weekly painting class at Evergreen Woods, and in this exhibition, her students present their work alongside hers to celebrate the arts and her memory.
