Best in Show – The Artist Favorite

Morning Light, Gun Powder River by Tarryl Gabel

Each artist is always looking to discover new things, new mediums, new inspirations and experimenting is part of each artist’s life. As we develop our work, we always have some work that we think is special, sometimes because it is an achievement in a new technique, sometimes simply because we feel a special connection. In this “Best in Show” juried exhibition, Gallery 40 is celebrating these works that have a special place in each artist’s heart.
