Chantal Kaufmann (a Swiss artist who helps animals)

Some artists are not only super-talented. But use their gifts to campaign for other species. Sometimes inspiring pictures are more powerful than a thousands words.

Chantal Kaufmann is an artist from Zurich, Switzerland. Who uses her astonishing artistic talent to help animals of all kinds. She hopes these pictures end up with a more peaceful world for all beings.

She is especially courageous, as she has actually followed the journeys of some animals to abattoirs, and then makes paintings from photographs. Above is the cow that famously escaped an abattoir truck in Europe. She painted Tilda from photos of the campaign, then later visited her at her new sanctuary home, where she will live in peace for the rest of her life.

Often focusing on barnyard friends that are eaten in the food industry, Chantal also paints other species including orangutans. And with that gorgeous red hair of hers, perhaps they know that she is their protective big sister!

You can purchase art from her Etsy shop and this helps her to have the freedom to support organisations that use her art to help animals worldwide. The range includes zero waste grocery totes.
