She paints in a naif, style, capturing a pond, a cottage, and a mountain range in the distance. Says the artist, "The nature that surrounds me is a marvelous thing that has given me even more inspiration for my pieces. It is a marvelous gift that God gives us."

Asian elephants are an endangered species. By making the Asian elephants' paintings widely accessible to the general public, NOVICA hopes to help increase awareness, encourage conservation, and raise significant funds to assist endangered elephants throughout Asia. For more information, please refer to the elephant's biography.

The reverse side of this original painting features the Elephant Conservation Center's seal of authenticity, as well as Pooparn's biographical information. It arrives unframed.

Please note: The elephants hold the paintbrush carefully, by the tip of their trunk - which is also the elephants' delicate nose area. Slight smudging, and an occasional water droplet here and there are to be expected on most elephant paintings. We like to consider that these imperfections add to the conversation value of each piece.
