Crocker Art Museum
Portraits by Mari Kloeppel
Now – May 31
Mari Kloeppel’s paintings are portraits of animals, with personalities, thoughts, and sometimes even a sense of humor. She paints horses, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and cattle, along with less domesticated creatures such as ravens, pelicans, and falcons. The species, however, matters less than her personal connection to the animal. She knows most of her subjects, having lived with them for years at her rural home. Others she encounters through animal rescues and local environmental activism. She finds beauty and intelligence in them all, and within them discovers her muse.
