One of Aet's more prestigious clients includes actor Leonardo DiCaprio. This four-year-old elephant is one of the many artists from Thailand's Elephant Conservation Center whose profits from painting sales help fund elephant sanctuaries in Southeast Asian countries. Since these elephant paintings appear in museums and upscale auction houses like Christie's, paintings sell for a hefty price. Aet's "Summer Eruption," goes for $307.95 at www.novica.com. The website consolidates the art of many elephants from different conservation centers.
Siri at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo also does private paintings the zoo sells at auctions or for donors.
