"Never has anything in a gallery been so hard to keep one's hands off. I wanted to pet, feed them. These are the hardest person-made animals on Earth not to touch. If I could have foreseen the path of her art, I would have chosen Gloria (Rasmussen) as my mother so I could have grown up, day by magic day, in her animal kingdom..."

"Gloria Rasmussen has bears in her yard, but that's just the start. She has a wildcat in her dining room, deer on her sofa, fish in her bathroom, squirrels in her entryway, a caribou at the top of her stairwell and a prairie dog in her den. From the foyer, where a stuffed bear in a sundress and rhinestone-studded glasses stands at the foot of the stairs covered in imitation tiger fur to the farthest corner of the second-floor spare room, which is adorned with a giant cloth cow in a sun hat and a wreath of monkeys, the shop is a cacophony of contented clutter."

"As a little girl growing up, Gloria Rasmussen fell in love with Christmas, hook, line and sinker. And she has spent the past (20) years in a glorious and artful expression of that infatuation... You could take the biggest Scrooge you know to view Rasmussen's creations and evoke a smile, no question about it."
