The Shy Giant Ibis
This Giant Ibis is a beautiful animal being saved at the Siem Pang Sanctuary in Cambodia with the help of Rising Phoenix. It is recorded as being the largest Ibis in the world. However, they are in grave danger of disappearing. "Extinct in Thailand and Vietnam, and probably so in Laos. 25% of the global giant ibis population are in Siem Pang, a population that has increased thanks to the protection afforded by the Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary (SPWS)."
In this painting of oil on repurposed wood, I introduce to you the Giant Ibis, the lotus flower (national flower of Cambodia) and some of the beautifully crafted giant Buddha statues outside of one of the many Buddhist temples in Siem Pang, Cambodia.

Great Horned Owlets
Patient of the Week: 3/27/2026
Three Great Horned Owls were brought to Tucson Wildlife Center as branchlings, including a pair of siblings. While we always aim to renest young raptors when possible, that was not an option for this trio.
When they first arrived, the owlets were hand-fed two to three times a day. To help prevent habituation to humans, our wildlife care team wore a ghillie suit and used a Great Horned Owl puppet during feedings (see video).
They have since been moved to an outdoor enclosure, where they can acclimate to the weather and other natural conditions. The plan is for them to be transferred together to a hack site.
Hacking is a soft-release method that closely mimics what young owls experience in the wild. After leaving the nest, Great Horned Owl fledglings spend several weeks learning to fly and hunt while still relying on their parents for food. During this time, they return to their parents and remain in the area until they become fully independent.
At a hack site, they will be given that same opportunity—supplemental food will be provided while they build strength and develop hunting skills, allowing them to gradually transition to independence while remaining in a safe, familiar area.

Conservation As A Goal
Having the mindset of a Sociocultural Anthropologist, I value the acts of conservation, education and celebration for almost all cultures and all life forms. Going forward in my painting endeavors, I know it is most important to implement these values into my work.
Each sale of an original painting from this category of "Conservation As A Goal" will have half of the price of a said purchased painting donated to a conversation organization or rescue operation that are helping to save or rehabilitate life's forms depicted within the painting.
The buyer will receive a letter/certificate of donation from the organization upon delivery of purchase with their name and YeloMonki Works name to ensure that this donation was delivered. After the original painting is purchased, the image will then be sold on my merchandise/prints and 1/2 of the profits on those sales will also go towards a donation to the same rescue or sanctuary as well. So, the donations will be on going. Unless, I die.
