Beth Croce
These paintings were made on location when the Melbourne and Taronga Zoos' elephants were residing in quarantine on the Cocos Islands en route from Thailand in 2006.
Artist Beth Croce (who is also a Mum at FPS) and her family were lucky enough to spend three months getting to know these wonderful individuals, thanks to husband/dad/veterinarian Michael's involvement in the project (he's the head vet at Melbourne Zoo).
Youngsters themselves when these paintings were made, this original herd has flourished and entrenched themselves in the hearts of Australians.
