... Their future is in our hands...

Now available:

A very special work of art donated by artist/sculpturer, J.A.Pippett. The piece is called EARS and was sculpted by the artist as a donation to the Elephants of Africa Rescue Society in time for the 2004 fundraising event.

The piece accounted for up to $6000.00 in donations at our 2004 fundraiser and we could not be more greatfull to have a man like J.A.Pippett on our side. Another reason this piece is so important to us is that it depicts the logo of our elephant sanctuary and our very own little elephant modeled for the piece. The logo says “their fate is in our hands”

2005 brought yet another tremendous donation from J.A.Pippett, Part II of the EARS collection but this time, with “Josef” in the caring hand of man. Josef is probably the most famous and loved animal at the Wild Things compound located on the Vision Quest Ranch with the EARS’ elephants. For more information on Josef, please visit www.wildthinginc.com .

When Andre offered to visit one day to study and paint the elephants of EARS, the directors were both honored and excited. When they were invited to home to see the finished piece at his home, it was truly emotional. It was our very own Butch front and center with Lisa and Buffy grazing near by. He even included Butch’s pet ostrich in the painting. It was perfect!!!

	André’s generosity is a blessing to EARS. The original is for sale in his gallery and he has offered a great portion of the proceeds from the sale of that piece to EARS.
