"My Texas Spiny Lizard Muse" by Lori Cook won First Place - Animal Kingdom at Houston 2025.
Artist Statement: "The day is lovely, and once again, this Texas Spiny Lizard is out and about in my yard and my flowerpots. He runs around my feet. Once I found him inside, sunbathing on my window blinds. To my surprise, he is calm and ready for his photo-op. On hands and knees, I look into his eyes. I think we love each other. I wonder if he is a prince in disguise or a relative from another life. Thank you for inspiring me! You are My Texas Spiny Lizard Muse."
