Aaron and elephants have always shared a special connection, rooted in Aaron Blaise’s lifelong passion for animals and storytelling. Growing up immersed in nature, Aaron’s love for drawing and painting the natural world blossomed early, shaping the foundation of his remarkable career as an artist and animator. Over the years, Aaron’s fascination with wildlife led him to create breathtaking works of art that celebrate the beauty, majesty, and fragility of the creatures we share this planet with. Among these, elephants hold a particularly profound place in his heart.
Today, Aaron continues to draw inspiration from the natural world, using his artistic talents to capture the soul and spirit of elephants and other creatures. Whether through a detailed painting, an animated frame, or a heartfelt sketch, Aaron’s work invites us to marvel at the incredible wildlife that enriches our lives and reminds us of the importance of preserving it for future generations.
I’m 45 years old now and I find myself back in the head of a twelve year old running through the woods. I still like to get dirty. I still like to get sweaty. And I still occasionally pull a tick or even a leach from my skin…but I also still like to carry my sketchbooks, paints, and camera. Creating images of the amazing creatures that we share our Earth with is for me the greatest pleasure I could ever hope for in a career.
