About "Elephant Tricks "

These Elephants in the Zambezi Valley are known for their ability to stand and reach high into the albida trees for the pods and fresh branches. Boswell is a well known elephant that often stands. This picture is from a sketch I did of another bull - he wasn't quite up on his hind legs then, but was nearly there
Enjoy!

About Astley

Africa is not a subject I discovered -- it is the landscape I grew up

listening to.

My work centres on baobabs and other enduring trees of the
Zimbabwean wilderness. These forms stand at a scale beyond the
human. Marked by seasons, drought, fire and the passage of

elephants, they carry visible records of time.

I am drawn to their presence -- not as symbols, but as living
structures that have witnessed generations before us and will
likely remain long after. In their stillness there is a sense of

continuity that shifts one's perspective.

Painting allows me to slow that encounter. It invites silence. My
intention is to create work that encourages a deeper breath -- a
moment in which the viewer feels both small and quietly
connected to something older and enduring.

Each piece is grounded in lived experience of the Zimbabwean
bush, where endurance is not metaphor but reality.
