“No matter how busy life gets, animals always have the power to transport us back to the present moment,” said Sheri Smith, featured artist and previous IDL Senior Visual Designer. “The fuzzy, fat, squishy, pokey, slimy, wonderful beasts who remind us all to slow down and appreciate the wilder things in life.”
