Created by Lucy, the Wildlife Center's Virginia Opossum ambassador, this one-of-a-kind framed original is equal parts artwork and conversation piece.

Working alongside Outreach Coordinator Alison, Lucy selected her own color palette from several animal-safe, water-based paints before setting to work, choosing shades of purple, yellow, and teal. Motivated by a trail of mouse treats, she made her way across the canvas, creating a playful, colorful original. According to Alison, Lucy's artistic philosophy seemed to be, "Don't think, just do."

Since joining the Wildlife Center's team in the summer of 2025, Lucy has quickly become a favorite with supporters and audiences at educational programs across Virginia. Now, her creativity can become part of your own collection.

Professionally framed with a matching purple frame and UV filtering conservation glass donated by Morgan-Miles Picture Frames.

Dimensions: Framed, 17" x 13.25" x 1"
