Elephants … the most empathetic creature around.

The “Take Care of Your Tribe” collection was created to honor those who are so important in our lives, FRIENDS. We all need them. They cheer us on, keep us going, make us better, and, gratefully, they’re there when life gets tough.

You may have heard “the elephant story’. I hadn’t…it goes like this:

Female elephants, the world’s most empathetic animal, are known to champion one another in times of need. When one elephant is either under attack or giving birth her elephant friends encircle her, watching guard and providing protection. What a beautiful sight.

The friends I shared this story with became overwhelmed with emotion – a few tears were shed from some unlikely people! I guess we realize that humans are much the same. We are also fierce protectors and rally around those who are down, vulnerable or are giving birth to new life, new ideas, new ventures, new spaces.

This message is too good to keep to myself, so the inspirational artist in me got to work. I created a series of paintings of elephants and had prints made to give to friends thanking them for our friendship.

They say natures teaches everyone, and it is so true. Elephant moms …they’re just like us. They are there every step of the way and they help their young ones navigate through challenging situations. They allow their children more flexibility and choices rather than providing definitive and strict guidelines to follow.

They also encourage their calves to be. who they want to be. And more importantly…they never forget!

P.S. In memory of “Vera & Vern”, my grandparents.
