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.

The Dorcus Clan

from $40.00

This giclee print has a deckled edge that I painted gold and is adhered to a textured canvas…a little different take on a traditional print!

Each piece of the elephant collection is thoughtfully named after special people who have touched my life. “The Dorcus Clan” is named after my first daughters group of college friends who enthusiastically named themself after the founder of Tri Delta sorority on that spirited night soon after they pledged! Gotta love it!
