Janice, Raven's Flight (Santa Fe Collection)
Janice, Raven’s Flight (Santa Fe Collection), 20 x 20, acrylic on canvas, unframed, 2024
The Santa Fe Collection was created primarily by survivors of the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico, a biomedical laboratory with the worst record of primate care in the history of the Animal Welfare Act.. These rescued chimps are now living in sanctuary at Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, Florida. Just like humans, a few of these survivors enjoy the practice of painting, and find art therapeutic in healing from a traumatic past.
About the artist, Janice: I was born January 16, 1999, at The Coulston Foundation, a research lab in Alamogordo, NM. My parents were Angelica and Hanzie. At some point, probably in 2000, I was “loaned” to another research lab in Maryland. No records are available that tell Save the Chimps what happened to me there. In 2005, I was shipped to New Iberia Research Center, a research lab in Louisiana. However, when Save the Chimps took over The Coulston Foundation, the sanctuary became the legal “owners” of me; the problem was, the lab did not want to give me up. After a long struggle, STC was finally able to take me home. Not long after my arrival, I became an adopted big sister to Marlon and Dylan, two infant chimpanzees also rescued in 2007 from a facility in Texas. I was and continue to be sweet and gentle with the two boys, and with everyone I meet, both chimp and human. Today, I live in Ron’s Family, and I, along with Marlon, Dylan, and the rest of my chimpanzee family have a big beautiful island upon which we can roam and play to our heart’s content. Another of our favorite activities is painting, and I love to join in the fun of spreading color paints all over a canvas…and the walls and floors!
This collection is part of the groundbreaking show, Interspecies: Human and Chimp Art Collaborations, July 13 - August 25, 2024
