Gail Severn Gallery is pleased to announce its fall/winter 2025 exhibitions: State of Nature VI, Flora and Fauna XIII, and a special Preview of 2026—a lead-in to Gail Severn Gallery’s 50th anniversary celebration.
State of Nature VI brings together artists whose work reflects a deep engagement with the land. Michael Gregory’s barns, Theodore Waddell’s impasto cattle-filled fields, Victoria Adams’ luminous horizons, and James Cook’s Sawtooth mountain scenes offer diverse yet complementary perspectives on place, memory, and light.
Flora and Fauna XIII celebrates life forms both wild and cultivated. The floral component will include: Diane Andrews Hall’s photorealistic birds, Kathy Moss’s still botanicals, and Betsy Margolius’s graphic florals alongside Maggie Shafran’s sculptural photography and Hung Liu’s emotive realism. Our fauna include: Chris Maynard’s delicate bird feather shadowboxes, Margaret Keelan’s weathered ceramic figures, Joseph Rossano’s graphite paintings of riparian life, and Anne Siems’s fairytale-like paintings of foxes, rabbits, and bears. Also featured are works by Gwynn Murrill, Alex Rohrig, Robert McCauley, and Robert Putnam.
In December, the gallery will present A Preview of 2026, honoring artists foundational to Gail Severn Gallery’s legacy and future. Opening the show will be an incredible installation by Joseph Rossano of butterflies, aptly named Monarchs. Artists providing new work in celebration of the 50th anniversary include: Jun Kaneko, Theodore Waddell, Tom Hammick, Michael Gregory, Laura McPhee, Deborah Oropallo, Cole Morgan, Raphaelle Goethals, Lynda Lowe, Victoria Adams, Pegan Brooke, Rana Rochat, Linda Christensen, and David deVillier. The show will also honor and remember artists: Julie Speidel, Jane Rosen, Hung Liu, Robert Helm, Donald Campbell, Morris Graves, Ed Musante, Jenny Abel, Marcia Myers, Rod Kagan, Sheila Gardner, Carolyn Olbum, Dan Anderson, Joseph Raphael, Don Nice, and David Wharton.
