Dan Ostermiller’s subjects are animals—wild and domestic—captured in expressive poses that suggests hints of personality. The surface of the work is important to the artist, who has paid particular attention to the marks, folds, and textures that describe the bear’s form. After crossing the bridge near Cindy Spring, the Art Trail begins a moderate, but long, uphill slope that may not be suitable for all guests. Those with mobility issues may wish to turn around at this point and return to the museum’s south entrance.
