Paw Prints & Portraits
Paw Prints & Portraits is an exhibition celebrating our furry friends and the artists who make their living from their portraiture. Illustrations, painting, and sculptures made with love, and a touch of fur, decorate our homes and our hearts. Every perfectly wispy whisker, spectacular spots, or twitchy tails captured by an artist speaks volumes to the love we share for man's best friends. February 20-April 30.
