These elephants, rescued from very abusive conditions in Burma, now live a wonderul life frolicking, learning and enjoying love and attention in Thailand.

Watch this video of "Bhab" skillfully painting his likeness. It was amazing to see him retrace lines, and add his playful personality to his work of art. When finished painting his flower, he presented a flower to a woman of his choice. An amazing experience to see his talents unfold before our eyes.

Being so touched by their backgrounds and talents, we now support rescue elephants and sell their art through Exotic World Gifts. You could say, we support "Starving Elephant Artisans".
