Item Description
"Sweet, Blind Suzy" Colored pencil on paper
Acclaimed Artist and Animal Activist Thyra Rutter studied fine art at the prestigious Otis College of Fine Art and Design in Los Angeles. Her earliest works reveal a fascination with ancient Celtic art work and rounded, colorful forms. After learning, later in life, that her biological mother, Maureen had been a gifted fine artist, skilled at drawing animals, Thyra reconnected with her lifelong love of animals and began drawing elephants. In 2015 she founded Arte for Elephants, a business aimed at selling fine arts and crafts to raise money for existing elephant charities around the globe. To-date Arte for Elephants has generated nearly $10K in funds for elephant projects working towards conservation and ethical treatment for both wild and captive elephants.
Her work is held in private collections and can be seen adorning several book covers by the wildly popular transgressive poet, Max Mundan.

The purchase of this item could feed Suzy the rescued blind elephant for almost two weeks!

Artist Statement-
"Being an artist, to me, is about creating positive, compassionate change through altering the perception of the viewer. Whether that change is in an appreciation for color, form or complexity, or through connection with the subject, I hope to engage a person in a way that, perhaps they have never engaged before. People should be able to look at my work and see something of a shared existence between themselves and the subject, be that human or animal."
