Suzy was rescued in 2015 from a circus where she had spent most of her life performing unnatural tricks. She was severely malnourished, emaciated, and completely blind in both eyes. Now, at Wildlife SOS, she loves her warm oil massages, medicated footbaths, and finding a good scratching tree!

At 71, Suzy is one of the oldest elephants at Wildlife SOS and also one of the smallest. Suzy has no molars, so we create a specialized diet for her. Her favorite food is watermelon smoothies! Over the years, she has grown very close to Asha, who was rescued the same year but is almost 20 years younger than Suzy.

An extremely reserved and calm pachyderm, Suzy inspires us with her strength and forgiving nature each day!

Size: Original watercolor, matted 8x10".

About the Artist: Belinda Stewart lives in St. Augustine, Florida. She works in all mediums but favors watercolors. She studied in private classes with famed watercolorist Mun Quan and art classes at Jacksonville University. All her watercolors are painted on professional Arches watercolor paper with Windsor Newton paints.

From the Artist: "Wildlife SOS has captured my heart with their ongoing love and care for all the animals retiring at their sanctuaries. From freeing Raju from chains and the legal battles to rescue sweet Mohan, it is an ongoing endeavor to save as many as possible. Since being retired, it has been pure joy seeing a photo posted of an elephant, bear or leopard and setting it aside to become inspiration for my watercolors and acrylics."
