She now has her own “studio” where she can paint whenever she wants, and to keep her motivated while working, she gets to munch on snacks from a picnic basket loaded with her favorite treats, like caramel popcorn and syrupy peaches.



For the last few years, Pigcasso has been honing her painting skills, creating works of art that range from colorful, rainbow-esque canvases to more austere, stripped-down, and monochromatic pieces. Her art is sold online, and most of her current stock has already been bought up by fans, with some grossing more than $2,000. Earlier this year, she was also featured in an art exhibit in Cape Town called “Oink” that will travel to a handful of European cities next summer.



But while Pigcasso might be the first and only non-human to have her an art exhibit, she’s far from the only animal with an interest in painting. Elephants, sea lions, and penguins have also shown that they, too, posses artistic skills.
