Harriet is really happy to have discovered that meeting place within her art-making that describes the soulful connection she feels to animals. She attempts to share that feeling....to give it a form for others to see.

Michelle sees 'Luddites' as one of her most meaningful pieces, because it represents her fantasy of wild animals taking back the planet from human control. As she points out, we forget that it’s their planet, too.

'Evolution of Revolution' is possibly one of Hartmut Kiewert's most popular pieces. Inspired by Delacroix's 'Liberty Leading the People', Hartmut has created a metaphor for animal liberation by replacing the guns that the Liberty and the small boy hold in their hands with bolt cutters and all other figures with the animal species most exploited in our society, such as pigs and cows.

Cathy's 'Black bear blue heart' helped a group in New Jersey in the United States portray the idea that black bears are NOT viscious man-eating monsters, but have the mind of prey. They are afraid of us! Cathy explains, 'Our urban areas have many bears so this piece helped to say, don’t be afraid, call us to help the bear, don’t hurt the bear! I created the bears with more human eyes so people could identify with the bears and stop to think before instantly becoming scared. Our media often portrays bears as blood thirsty but in reality they only want to survive, just like we do.'

'Ojos que no ven, animales que si sienten' (Out of sight, but animals do feel it) is the first piece Roma painted after going vegan. The painting expresses how even though people don´t see what happens on farms and in slaughterhouses, the reality is that the animals are suffering and it is our moral duty to open our eyes to this reality and not ignore it.

‘The Ghost Camera’ was inspired by a story of the same name taken from Philip's novel ‘All that remains’, all about an imagined future based on the destructive and unstoppable progress of the ever-expanding and increasingly brutal nature of factory farming. This painting draws together many strands of meaning in one single image.
