Symbols, Stories and Animals
Animals and their symbolism in diverse world cultures and throughout different eras of human history come to life in the imagination of an artist! From the mysterious, curious big cat captured on a piece of pottery from Kenya, to the speedy, fleeting gecko of the Caribbean, to the secretive owl and the beautifully embroidered peacock, artists find these subjects too extraordinary not to capture in imagery.
There are animals in the Chinese zodiac, animals in fantastic guise in Pre-Columbian art and mysterious totems honoring the spirits of the indigenous animal population and their relationship with the humans they share their space with!
