Unwritten Courage — Original Artwork Auction

Award-winning wildlife artist Louise Hancox created Unwritten Courage after learning of the devastating floods that hit Elephant Nature Park (ENP), a sanctuary in Northern Thailand. The artwork was meant to honour one elephant lost in the flood — but when she accidentally drew the wrong elephant, it became a tribute to two - one in form and one in spirit - and to the sanctuary that saved them.

Now, Louise is auctioning the original artwork to raise funds for Save Elephant Foundation, the charity behind ENP. 100% of proceeds will be donated directly.

 The auction closes 19 August.

Your bid helps protect animals who’ve already endured so much — and supports a sanctuary offering them dignity, freedom, and healing.

This auction is organised by Louise Hancox, an award-winning UK-based wildlife artist passionate about using art to support real-world conservation. All proceeds from this auction will be donated directly to Save Elephant Foundation, which runs Elephant Nature Park in Thailand—an ethical elephant sanctuary that rescues and rehabilitates elephants from logging, street begging, and tourism exploitation.

Elephant Nature Park has been a leader in compassionate elephant rescue since the 1990s, offering a safe haven for elephants who can finally live with dignity and freedom. They rely heavily on donations to continue their vital work.

This auction is part of a personal fundraiser centred around the original artwork “Unwritten Courage”—inspired by the elephants at the sanctuary. Whether you’re here to bid or just browse, thank you for being part of something meaningful.
