"Knowing the benefit of animal behavioral enrichment to captive wildlife, Fur In My Paint brings this engaging activity to life for readers of all ages. Through these works of the wild ones and their caregivers, Tifane Grayce has designed a superb table top book which to our knowledge is the first of its kind. It is an honor to know and work with Tifane who gives 110% to every task or project. If you enjoy animals this book is for you!"

From Julie Scardina:
"Fur in My Paint is really fun and interesting! It showcases not only stunningly beautiful artwork created by wild creatures cared for at zoological parks, but in few words, provides an exceptional insight into unique individual personalities ... each animal showing preferences, and at times apparent intent, in how they choose to paint. Having worked for decades as an animal trainer at SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, I especially like the way the book highlights the importance of enrichment through the descriptions offered with each art creation. The close relationships developed between the animals and their caretakers is exemplified, as is the length keepers and trainers will go to provide stimulating opportunities for their charges. This is a masterpiece I will share with my animal and art loving friends and colleagues - and I can't wait to paint with some of my "best friends!""

From Jack Hanna:
"Tifane Grayce gives us a look at some really unique art as she explores the work of artists from around the world! Imagine yourself strolling through a gallery of modern art and being taken by the wild, bright colors, undulating shapes and feather-like textures that only masters can achieve. Masters? Well, these are masters of a different kind - or shall I say - species...
Fur In My Paint explores wild animals who create art - from scorpions to beaded lizards, macaws to elephants, and sea lions to gorillas! A brilliant activity for any animal in an animal park or conservation center, painting stimulates the animals and acts as an important "enrichment" activity. Not only do the animals produce some really nice art, but it's valuable for conservation fund-raising!"

I received my books today and what a treat.I can't wait to send them to my kids. I am so glad that I also got one for my husband, so we will have one as well. While the pictures are great, it is the narrative about each animal really helps to bring the pictures to life.This is a book that will be enjoyed over and over for many years to come. It makes me want to try painting with my cats for their enrichment as well as mine own. Thank you Tiffane for your creative instincts.
