Who doesn't love animals in clothing??

I love animals in clothing doing human things… I think it comes from the years of my mom reading books to me as a kid.  I adored the very busy worlds of the Richard Scarry books, the Adventures of Curious George and that he had a human who cared for him…I loved the beautiful worlds of Beatrix Potter and wanted to accompany Babar and his family as they traveled the world…my heart hurt for Corduroy until he found his home and I am certain I’d be friends with Frog and Toad if I could meet them.

Thinking I’ll grow out of this is just lying to myself.  I used to feel silly about still loving “childish things”  but soon came to realize that is just who I am.  To this day, my home is filled with stuffed animals, children’s books, figurines and toys.  These are the cherished items that help to make my house a home.  These treasures spark my imagination and bring me to a world of play and lightness.

Creating artworks of furry critters wearing clothes like overalls and dresses, carrying purses, pausing to pose, sharing their smiles brings my make believe world into existence.  These creatures become my little ambassadors of creativity and love that I send out into the world.  I do hope they encourage people to never lose that sense of silly, that youthful draw towards wonder and a respite from what can be the heavy of adulthood.
