Favorite Things presents a diverse selection of paintings, drawings, and sculpture by twenty-eight artists who inspire us in the way they capture the seasons, evoke our love for friends and family, make us smile or gaze in amazement, or transport us to a beautiful faraway vista. Our contemporary selection includes dazzling paintings of singular vision by William Beckman, Michèle Fenniak, Paul Fenniak, Linden Frederick, Alan Magee, Alyssa Monks, Brian Rutenberg, Tula Telfair, and Stephanie Wilde. Also presented are unique works on paper from the remarkable talents of Robert Bauer, Frederick Brosen, Davis Cone, Rance Jones, Jane Lund, G. Daniel Massad, Anthony Mitri, Clio Newton, and Cybèle Young. And on view for the first time at Forum Gallery are whimsical paintings by Nathaniel Aric Galka that captivate our imagination while imparting a message of interconnectedness and optimism in fanciful fables told through the flora and fauna of our endangered natural world.
