Art Studio Visit with Krystle Cole - I share my new colorful elephant painting of Stephanie, the oldest elephant at Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. She’s my favorite elephant. One day, two years ago when I was at the zoo, I walked into the indoor enclosure, and Stephanie was making a painting along with the help of two zookeepers. After she was finished, I told them that I was taking photos of her so I could paint her. Then the zookeeper started having her practice behaviors. To me, "behaviors" is just a professional way of saying that she does tricks ? It was so cool; evidently Stephanie knows over 200 behaviors! She was taught most of them to allow the zoo staff to clean her teeth and perform veterinary health tasks. But some were taught to her because when she was younger, it was only her and one other elephant at the zoo. She liked to have human interaction, and teaching her behaviors was one way for the zookeepers to enrich her life. This painting is of one of her behaviors. I feel really fortunate to have been able to see her do so many of them that day, because now that she has a herd of elephants with her, the zookeepers try to keep her life more like an elephant in the wild rather than having her interact with humans so much. Prints are now available for purchase! https://www.krystlecole.com/listing/832649861/elephant-art-print-wall-decor-for-gifts And the original painting is too! https://www.krystlecole.com/listing/832956871/colorful-elephant-painting-on-canvas Thanks so much for watching!
