About the Artist: In Asia and Africa elephants are integral to forest bio-diversity and health. Most tropical forest trees rely on animals to disperse their seeds, and an elephant is ultimate at that. Elephants consuming fruits and dispersing seeds over distant ranges is vital for forests’ ongoing survival. As gardener of the forest and a matriarchal society, feminine wisdom is rich in an elephant’s world. Known for their altruistic and

compassionate treatment of each other and the ability to communicate over vast distances, an elephant connects us with a universal law of oneness, opening us up to deeper caring for the good and betterment of the whole and for future generations. 

This artwork was created by hand printing with a relief linocut design onto pretreated paper. Relief printing is an ancient printing technique where the artist carves a design into a solid block of material (such as linoleum). Once the design is complete, the block is inked with a roller and the paper is then placed over the block and pressure applied to transfer the design onto the paper.”
