Silently Watching. Dee Santorini, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Santorini returned from a bucket list safari trip in Kenya this past February with more than 850 photos that inspired the works in this show. \u201cI was able to capture the joy of a baby elephant playing in the mud, and created a painting of life continuing after the trauma of losing one\u2019s mother,\u201d says the artist. \u201cEven though this baby elephant had been orphaned by ruthless poachers, he was taken in by compassionate Africans, and was able to find his joy doing normal baby elephant things. So many of the beautiful creatures in Africa are facing extinction at the hand of mankind. I am determined to help save these incredible beings.\u201d<\/p>\n
