Human nature is puzzling, artist Gail Selfridge suggests in this series of portraits every which way. The puzzle piece is an emblem of the Autism Society, a symbol of the intricacy of the human brain. Students at Kansas State University interested in unlocking the mysteries of human personality can enroll in courses addressing social work, psychology, and psychiatry, among other disciplines.

Selfridge’s most recent art explores nature. Her coloring book on leaves can be found on the museum’s Exploration Station outside this gallery. She is a member of the American Society of Botanical artists.
