This February, the Rehoboth Art League presents three new exhibitions. On view from February 13 through March 8, 2026 are All Things Flight and Beautiful: Work by Allison Cosmos, Still Life and Landscape: Work by John Schisler, and Go Forward: Work by Michele Foster-Lucas.

In the Corkran Gallery, “All Things Flight and Beautiful,” work by Allison Cosmos, presents a series of intricately painted scenes and portraits inspired by seventeenth-century Chinoiserie, contemporary design, and close observation of the natural world. Cosmos’ work explores the intersection of traditional botanical beauty and modern storytelling through detailed botanicals, birds, and symbolic elements. Each piece is painted by hand and often incorporates native, endangered, or extinct species of flora and fauna. With lush palettes and layered compositions, the work evokes themes of history, scientific documentation, and imagined worlds, balancing heritage with innovation.

Also on view in the Corkran Gallery is “Still Life and Landscape,” oil paintings by John Schisler. Schisler’s work is grounded in traditional techniques influenced by the Dutch Masters and the teachings of Jacques Maroart Leger. Using handmade materials including his own medium, black oil, varnish, and ground pigments, Schisler paints primarily from life, allowing each composition to evolve organically over time. His still lifes emphasize color, light, and composition, drawing viewers in before revealing subtle details meant to spark memory and personal connection. While classical still life has been a recent focus, Schisler continues to explore a wide range of subjects including wildlife, street scenes, and nautical themes.

The Tubbs Gallery will feature “Go Forward,” works by Michele Foster-Lucas. This exhibition is a compilation of artwork created over several years and reflects the artist’s journey across different mediums and themes. Through these works, Foster Lucas encourages viewers to move forward, not only creatively, but in all pursuits.
