Artist Stella Maria Baer (see her website here) lives in New Haven, Connecticut with a pet hedgehog. The Baer family always kept animals while Stella was growing up. She, her parents, and her brother all have "animal nicknames," she says, like spirit animals.

Eight years ago she painted of a portrait of her mom and dad's animals together (zebra and possum, respectively, though her mom is also sometimes identified as a donkey) as a birthday gift for her dad. (She doesn't want to say what her own animal is.)
