Perth Zoo’s Animals Helping Animals
Exclusive! Paintings by Perth Zoo elephants!
Elephants are natural artists. They are well known to doodle in the dirt with sticks — from a basic scratching to quite intricate ‘designs’.
Using paintbrushes, their trunks and their feet, Perth Zoo’s Asian Elephants create striking and unique works of art.
Ele Art is part of Perth Zoo’s enrichment program to keep its elephants stimulated, healthy and happy. The paints used are water and vegetable based and non-toxic.
Tricia, Putra Mas and Permai each paint with their own distinctive style and colour-preference. Each piece is an original and no two pieces will be the same.
Types of Ele Art
Ele Art comes in a range of types and sizes and in stylish frames or unframed, and you can even order paintings in your choice of colours.
Ele Art ranges from $39 to $1,200 (inc. GST) and make are perfect for brightening up an office, child’s room, or anything else that could use a splash of colour!
