Picasso the man was a charismatic, albeit misogynistic, genius artist. Pigcasso the painting pig is just as flamboyant and beloved, but she’s a fine lady swine brandishing a paintbrush on behalf of barnyard animals across the world.
This impressive, 3-year-old porker was rescued from an industrial hog farm as a piglet, reports National Geographic. When the budding star first became interested in paintbrushes lying around her Farm Sanctuary South Africa pen, Pigcasso’s rescuer-turned-caretaker Joanne Lefson of Cape Town decided to harness that artistic inclination. Lefson focused on a positive-reinforcement technique with Pigcasso, giving the talented animal food rewards while she honed her craft.
