I love these paintings by Sarah Higdon.
In her artist statement she says,
At first glance, it is easy for someone to categorize my costumed animals as merely whimsical or gimmicky paintings with one-liner appeal. For me the animals go much deeper and I hope that as well as enjoy and be amused by my imagery, the viewer will spend a little more time studying them to figure out the internal and often personal viewpoint I am offering. My childhood is present in my works, influenced by the children’s book illustrations that I was most enchanted with, worlds I wished to belong to and creatures that were more appealing than the humans that ostracized me.
