About

Overview

An online exhibition on Artsy for artwork inspired by animals. Cats, dogs, lizards, chickens, crows, possums, octopuses, emotional support tarantulas, and that raccoon stealing your neighbor's tomatoes - if it has fur, feathers, scales, shells, tentacles, hooves, wings, or way too many legs, it's fair game. Painting, sculpture, photography, fiber, ceramics, digital work, printmaking, assemblage, video, and every other medium are welcome.
