Are you ready to pick up your spirits, feel joyful and maybe even chuckle? You really otter smile today!

Otter Therapy is a masterfully done collection of Sea Otter art reimagined in famous paintings like Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring, or as celebrities by acclaimed artist Edi Matsumoto. The paintings are perfectly paired with lighthearted otter jokes, otter fun facts, and related feel-good stories and inspirations.
