  In poetic and densely ornamented watercolor paintings, Dana Sherwood centers existence within the animal body. Her female figures don't seek to control nature but to live vibrantly within it. In his video Animal, Patrick Moser, captures the artist's passionate, funny, and flawed attempts at personifying animals through imitation. He states, "Love is an animal with other animals inside it." Chicago based artist James Kao employs skills of "practiced observation…to find what is unseen and always present." His oil paintings feature symbols and abstraction that suggest the traces of the wild animal in nature. Susan Carr contributes four whimsical, thickly painted oils which represent a joyful and tender relationship to creatures she encounters or imagines. In his poignant drawings, paintings, and etchings UConn alumnus Logan Bishop explores the mystery of the animal and how it helps us reflect on our own existence. Eleanor Miller's expansive painting, Sky Dance, presents the cosmos with a fox as enigmatic presence, spiritual guide, and muse.
